Cleared for Takeoff
Alright, so I have been installing this cruise control on my bike, a 1993 Honda VFR750, and I've come to a dead end. The guys on the motorcycle forum haven't been of any help either. I seem to have more solutions to any issues I have on here than anywhere so here you go.
I have the CC servo mounted and wired up. I am trying to figure out a way to hook the servo cable up to the throttle pulley. I had two ideas but neither of them worked. First I tried connecting a wire to the barrel pin between the throttle cable and pulley, but the wire was too thick. Then I tried to JB weld a bolt sticking out of the cable to attach a lever arm to. After two attempts the JB weld popped loose with only hand tight pressure. So I don't know what to do. I have a various assortment of attachment items that came in the box to try and use, I'll try to snap a pic of what I have to work with. But I am also open to getting this done however possible. I am heading to Oklahoma this week and would like to take a bike up there, not pieces.

What I was trying to do with the bolt. I really like this way, it gives me more throw and more leverage. Both are preferred in the manual. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the JB weld? Both times after letting the 4hr quick cure stuff sit for ~10hrs, it came right of and is still very pliable. It peeled right off of both surfaces. I roughened both of them.
Thoughts.
