Could someone point me to the correct part numbers for a throttle cable upgrade on my 2000 LT? Thanks

This is copied from a post in the HoW:

327 376 944 90 - Throttle
327 376 944 91 - Acc. Cable
466 376 947 28 - Handlebar Cover
327 276 919 90 - Repair Kit

The Handle Cover is the right lower, with a different hole to allow the cables to run out straight before they take an almost 90 degree bend into the new assembly that holds them in place at the throttle. Many folks have simply taken a Dremel tool and cut out some plastic from their lower right cover to make room for the cables. (Being a lazy son-of-a-gun, I just put the old cover back on without modifying it at all. Probably a very bad idea, but I cannot detect any difference in the cable feeling or function based on whether the cover is on or off.) The Repair Kit is two pieces of plastic and 4 screws, but they are essential. The assembly that held your old cables in place at the top of the throttle grip will not fit the new cables. The repair kit gives you everything you need to mount a new assembly to hold the ends of the cable sheathing in place and align the cable ends with the wheel that winds the cable tighter or looser. Check the HoW for some good posts on how to swap the cables out, and look at jrehder's post (found in the list of similar threads below this thread) for some great tips. Unless you are a watch maker, prepare yourself for the frustration of working in very tight quarters. It can be done, and even though I did not think there was anything wrong with my old cables, the new ones are worth putting in just for the improved precision of throttle response, in my opinion. Good luck.
