Not likely, but pep boys does sell a universal one for the bikes and scooters they sell.Will auto parts store carry throttal cable that will fit bikes?
this is not an auto part, your best bet is going to be a motorcycle dealership parts department, and you may have to order it. if the ball snapped off the end, sometimes if you are careful you can use a small vise grips and clip the end to the rotating part outside the bars, (just be careful not to squeeze it out of round. I have tied a round homemade grip from like electrical tape and an old broom stick, and ran the cable up the middle of the handlebars, and pulled on it with one hand, while operating the clutch with the other, its not pretty, but it will get you home, and once the bike is at cruising speed you can go nice and easyWill auto parts store carry throttal cable that will fit bikes?
No dude you'll have to get one tomorrow.
auto part stores do not carry motorcycle parts. what kind of bike do you have. go to a motorcycle shop to get the part you need.
