Norton Cable, Throttle (Twistgrip End) HI Rider only
Twistgrip-end throttle cable listed for Hi Rider handlebar setups.
This is a throttle cable, the twistgrip end run, listed for the Hi Rider setup. It connects the twistgrip on the handlebar to the carburetor linkage, so when the throttle is rolled on, this cable is what pulls the slide open at the other end.

The catalog note singling out Hi Rider only tells us this one was cut and routed for that particular bar-and-seat configuration, which usually meant longer runs than the standard bars. That length matters a lot with throttle cables since Hi Rider setups sit the grip higher and farther back than standard bars.
We don't have much more on file for this one beyond the single catalog listing. If you're sourcing a replacement, best to confirm the routing and length against what's actually on your bars before ordering, since a cable that's the wrong length either binds up or leaves slack that throws off the throttle action.
Sorry if we got something wrong here. If you think this information isn't correct, .
