I don't know of one that will swap but I ride a twist so I've never spent any time trying to see if a OEM off another bike will work.


Might want to hit up ebay for another OEM zilla or post up a WTB (want to buy) in the classifieds here.  I'm sure there are more than a couple stockers laying around somebody would sell for a few bucks.

No, the ball that is swedged on to the end of the cable is a different size.
