Problem is these cables do not work with my model, 1977 R100S. Funny thing is I ignored the advice on the wise Beemer Heads and went ahead and installed them. After wresting an hour with these new old cables, I got them installed on the throttle body, and installed them on the carbs, start it, revs to 4000 RPMS, because the cable ends near the carb are too short, thus lifting the throttle lever too high. "My Bad"
I quickly removed the new old cables, and reinstalled my original old cables, and back to normal idle, RPM's. Anybody need a set of 1977 R100/7 throttle ad speedo cables?

Hi - just had the EXACT same problem - the cables from BMW are just too short. Hi Revs. Then I screwed up the settings thinking those were off.
Now I'm putting the old cables back on and starting from square one...
My question is - did you ever find NEW cables that work?? I'll live with the old ones for now, but they are in pretty bad shape... If you found some that work, do you happen to have the part number??
Thanks in advance Pete!
