Throttle cable
Throttle cable for control cables and American handlebars setups, cataloged 1960-1962, also known as D224 or MC-AM40/21.
This is the throttle cable listed in the catalog under the control cables and American handlebars figure, carrying the older D224 reference as well as an MC-AM40/21 form. It runs from the twistgrip down to the carburetor, pulling the throttle slide open when you roll the grip and letting it close again on its own.

Our catalog record ties this one to appearances spanning 1960 to 1962, which puts it in the American-handlebar-equipped machines of that era rather than a specific single model. If you're not sure your bike's bars and controls match up with what this cable was cataloged for, give us a call before ordering so we can confirm fitment against your setup.
A cable like this is a wear item — the outer casing can fray or kink and the inner wire can stretch or fray at the ends, so if the throttle feels sticky or doesn't snap shut cleanly it's worth checking before you assume it's a carb problem.
