@oneupmoto: Anytime you swap handle bars or do any custom work to the front end, it’s likely the cables will end up too long. In addition to looking unprofessional, this can cause binding when you turn, and tight bends that create excess friction in the cable making for a hard or rough pull. In a worst case scenario, this can make throttle cables bind which is straight up dangerous. I shorten a lot of cables and have refined this process over the years. I don’t recommend the screw on type ferrules for long term use or even for short term on clutch cables. Soldering is the way to go! #motorcyclestiktokcontest #mechanic #DIY #howto #custom

You should heat the end before dipping it into the solder so it will fill in the hole around the cable !

when cutting with pliers you crush the spiral metal housing making it impossible for the cable to travel freely. the ideal way to make your cut with a cut off wheel.

what if you drill a hole on the feral you cut on the steel rod and insert the cable and hammer it to compress the cable would that not work instead of soldering

What is the reason you solder instead of weld? Cable strands just a pain to do?

if you don't have muriatic acid, it is much slower but you can also use cleaning vinegar as it has a higher concentration compared to normal cooking vinegar.
