Venhill Cable Kits for CB500X and CB500F

Venhill throttle and clutch cable upgrades for the current generation Honda CB500X and F 

Venhill Featherlight Clutch and Throttle Cable Kits are now available for Honda’s popular CB500X and CB500F – a simple and inexpensive upgrade for owners to add extra dependability to the already trustworthy twins.

Both the X and F have proven to be solid all-rounders, capable of high mileages. Upgrading to Venhill’s cables not only makes the controls more durable, but also delivers smoother operation. And they are available in a range of colours too.

Marine-Grade Stainless
Developed and made in their UK factory, Venhill’s Featherlight Kits use the latest cable technology and materials for improved durability, as well as a smoother, lighter action. Each cable has high quality marine-grade stainless steel inner wire to eliminate stretch.

They’re also ‘Bird-caged’ – allowing solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger – reducing the risk of breakage.

PTFE ‘teflon’ lining
A PTFE ‘teflon’ liner minimises friction, and removes the need for regular lubrication.

This is then wrapped in a stainless steel braid and covered with a hardened PA6 Nylon jacket, to protect the inner from damage and corrosion.

Clutch Cable Kits for both the Honda CB500 X and F retail at £25.32 each, including VAT.  Throttle Cables (sold as a pair) sell for £39.38.

They are a direct replacement for the original items, for quick and easy fitting, and include adjustment at the lever end for fine-tuning.

Fitments are available for the MY 2022-23 Honda CB500X and CB500F, as well as the 2019-2023 CB500R. Additional length can be specified, for bikes fitted with bar risers.

Find them quickly and easily – and order in seven different colour ways – using the www.venhill.co.uk Part Finder.

Fit a Shade of Grey with Venhill Cables

New grey colourway for British-made speedo and tacho cable range 

Venhill has added a new grey colour option to their motorcycle speedo and tacho cable range – offering a discreet alternative to black cables on classic British and Japanese bikes.

Recently expanded to cover more makes and models, Venhill speedo and tacho cables are made in their UK factory, to the same rigorous standards as their other control cables and hydraulic hoses.

Each one features a right-hand wound inner shafting, for a durable but flexible drive. The outer casing is made from a special double wound conduit for maximum flexibility and strength. This is then PVC-coated, to protect against dirt, grime, corrosion and damage.
Venhill has also recently upgraded its range of replacement speedo and tacho cables with new brass drive ends. These are manufactured to fit the square drive ends of reconditioned speedometers much more accurately.

Two sizes of speedo drive are produced. One for traditional British bikes (3mm across the flats) and one for Japanese (2.5mm). Cables with different size drives at either end can also be made, allowing Japanese-sized clocks to be fitted to older British bikes.

All of Venhill’s existing speedo and tacho cables are now available in the new grey shade. Visit www.venhill.co.uk and use the part finder to select your make and model of machine.

British motorcycle control specialists Venhill have developed a Featherlight Clutch Cable kit for the Triumph Tiger 800 range. This low cost and easy-to-fit upgrade brings instant benefits to the popular middleweight adventurer.

Offering the specification of a large dual-sport bike in an easy-to-handle package, the Tiger 800 delivers serious touring and overlanding potential. Venhill’s new kit helps owners ride even further, improving clutch control and also reducing fatigue and discomfort in the hand and arm.

Each cable has high quality marine-grade stainless steel inner wire to eliminate stretch and is ‘Bird-caged’ – allowing solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger – reducing the risk of breakage.

A PTFE ‘teflon’ liner minimises friction, and removes the need for regular lubrication. This is then wrapped in a stainless steel braid and covered with a hardened PA6 Nylon jacket, to protect the inner from damage and corrosion.

The new cable kits retail at just £25.32 inc VAT and are a direct replacement for the original, for quick and easy fitting. They include adjustment at lever end for fine-tuning the bite point.

Motorcycle control specialists Venhill have updated their off-road catalogue for 2023, with hundreds of new cable and hose applications added to the must-have manual for dirt-bike riders.

A one-stop shop for high quality hydraulic brake lines and control cables, Venhill’s catalogue covers the major names and specialist off-road brands – from AJP to Yamaha – and from classic twinshock motocross, trials and dirt bikes from the 1970s right through to the latest MY23 models.

Additions for this year include Clutch Cable Kits for 1976-1986 models of Yamaha’s iconic Dakar-winning XT500; Rear Brake Hose Kits for the latest generation of Honda CRF450R, WE and RX; plus new Throttle Cable Kits for KTM and Husky two-strokes, including the 2021-2022 KTM SX 125, 150 and 250cc models, and the 2021-on Husqvarna TC125 and 250.

Developed and precision made in their UK factory, Venhill control cables and hydraulic hoses are trusted by some of the World’s leading MX teams like World Champion Jacky Martens’ JM Honda Racing and Big Van World MTX Kawasaki.

Venhill’s Powerhose Plus brake lines feature a DuPont® Teflon® core for improved heat resistance, more efficient fluid flow and increased braking force. They’re wrapped in a marine-grade stainless braid and bonded PVC jacket for protection and use threaded swivel fittings for zero-twist positioning.

Refined since their introduction in 1993, Venhill’s Featherlight clutch and throttle cables deliver improved performance and durability along with smoother action.Each one features marine-grade stainless steel inner wire and a ‘teflon’ PTFE liner for minimum friction and a lighter action.  They’re also ‘Bird-caged’ – a special process applied to the end of the inner wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger.

Free to download from Venhill’s website, the updated catalogue is designed for quick and easy use, with all bikes listed alphabetically along with corresponding Vehill part numbers for fuss-free ordering online or by phone.
