TS250/1 Front brake conversion - what cable to use?

[Gordonhts250]

I've recently sourced a MZ front rim laced to a Honda CB350K4 TLS drum brake (an old mod to improve the braking).

Does anyone know what brake cable is compatible with a cb350 k4 font tls drum conversion (with MZ std brake lever)? Do I need to get a hybrid made (Honda fittings at the brake end, MZ fittings for the lever?

Any supplier details would also be useful

thanks GordonH

If you want to keep the original brake lever assembly you can just use an original MZ cable, the longer one for high bars, with an adjuster at the wheel, which is what I have at the moment on my TS150. Some people say the lever assy can be modified to take the Honda cable, which would be superior if you can do it.

In my opinion the best solution is to replace all the handlebar equipment with standard Japanese stuff if you are not bothered about originality, and use the Honda cable.
