You Will Need A Ferrule Compression Tool (Crimper) to fit these yourself!
I created this kit to address the problem with the OEM gear and cables used in the screen height adjusting mechanism. More detail of the problem and concept can be found in the blog page here.
I had 200 full kits made in the first run and they have almost gone - less than 10 left. I have now made a second batch of 100 gears and cable sets. When they have sold I cannot promise if another run will be produced.
BE WARNED!
This system is designed to be used at a maximum speed of 50 mph / 80 kph.
It will work at higher speeds but you WILL damage the cables to some degree if you consistently use it above 50mph. The motor load at standstill, with no wind is around 4 amps, at 50 mph it is around 14 amps (due to wind resistance) and at 60 mph and above it rises to around 19 amps ... the system is fused at 20 amps!
If you abuse the cables (by use at excessive speed) they will deform BEFORE the fuse blows. BE WARNED and slow down to 50mph max BEFORE use to prolong the life of your cables.

Kit Components
The standard kit consists of one replacement gear and two cables.
I will also supply 4 ferrules and a small amount of Molykote dry paste to lubricate the gear.
Again, You will need a ferrule compression tool if you intend to fit yourself.
You will not be able to buy the cables and gear individually - the Bike-Quip Gear HAS NOT been tested with the original HONDA cables and the Bike-Quip cables HAVE NOT been tested with the original HONDA gear. The choice to fit just one of these components is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED and no warranty is given that this 'mix and matching' of OEM and Bike-Quip components will work - your risk!
Slider Blocks (Selling out Fast!)
It is UNLIKELY that you will need them but I can also provide replacement Slider blocks (also referred to as Dogs in some literature). These replacements are CNC machined from Aluminium billet - not die cast as the OEM version was. They will fit both Left and/or Right cables so are interchangable AND they will work with ANY cables or gears as they are a direct replacement for the OEM.
Again, they are NOT part of the standard kit.
UNLESS YOUR CURRENT SLIDER BLOCKS ARE DAMAGED (OR REPAIRED)
YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO ORDER THESE ITEMS
Again, as with the kits, I had a relatively large run of slider blocks made initially (they are expensive to produce - hence the price) and if another run is needed it will be smaller and is likely to affect the price to some degree.
The cables will be end-for-end reversible as only one end is used but, if you ever need to buy a second set of replacement cables in the future, I will discount them by 50% (of the price at the time of replacement), so keep a note of your original order number.
Again, YOU WILL NEED access to a ferrule compression tool if you intend to replace the cables yourself. If you don't have that access, you can send me JUST the (undamaged) slider blocks and I can fit them for you - a full list of various options and prices is shown below. I can also fit to a dissembled screen mechanism but this weights around 2.4kg (5.2lbs) unboxed so the postage for that will be much more - in each direction!
NOTE The price for the fit to 'customers screen mech' and 'fit to customer blocks' is for the kit and fitting - you will receive a seperate invoice for RETURN shipping based on your location.
