What's the verdict on repop H2 throttle cables? The real thing is readily available at 98 bucks at the dealer but the repos are much cheaper. Are the repos well made?

They are ok, I found I had to safety wire the cables into the splitter, other than that they are fine to me.

I made a nifty replacement throttle cable, with junction box( with option to delete the oil pump cable,as the junction box can be opened).The box does not look stock :(for the stickler with originality).The whole assembly works beautifully.

Some photos and a description of how you did it would be helpful to others who might want to learn from your work.

They're a little sloppy at the plastic junction and more fragile there than the original. But they do work and once installed and adjusted, work well. I'd buy another.
