Red: Venhill Custom Throttle Cable, Part 2

Redoing the cable went pretty smoothly.  As planned, I cut off both ends of the sleeve and replaced both ferrules with the smaller 5.5mm size.

I added the cable and cut it to the same 110mm of difference as before.

On the soldering pot, I did try to end up with less solder on the nipple so that I wouldn't have to file it down quite so much.  (Still had some filing to do, though)

Throttle cable went into the grip, grip went onto the bike, carb side went into the carb.  And job done!  She turns smoothly and with a nice spring back to closed position.

Was nice weather so ended up adding the front fender, which was a bit fiddly as usual.

Also replaced the tarnished handlebar mount bolts with new ones (had to use longer ones up top and shorter ones on the bottom).
