I know it's stupid.. but my buddy is arguing that the grey colored cables I got for my r5 fron Economy are not correct. He says the should be black.
I have no idea but I know all my other early yamaha bikes had grey.
So what's the deal?
You're buddy is full of *&^&*, My originals are gray.
I owned an R5 back in 1973 and I remember the cables were grey
yup. grey indeed. all of them. even the wiring sleeving from the controls, speedo, tach cable, etc. hell, i even put on grey fuel line. (not original but it matched) :dawg:
73-up black.
It did matter to me.
I bought John's complete cable kit and it came grey.
Black would have been fine. But I was certain the oem was grey but he kept telling me that only 60's stuff was grey. I have 70's enduros that had grey stuff.
oh, me too on certain ones. you friend is over generalizing is all. thats why you have us.
