I am pretty sure the cable is not repairable, they need to take it off and send it to somebody to make one, they braided and soldered the ends. It’s a very stiff clutch, it just pulled off or is slipping off.
I think that is why he does not want that mechanic, he also thought it would be simple to fix.
The bike is a little rough, pictures make it look better then it really is, however, it really is a collectors item, it needs a professional restoration IMO.
He paid 5K and a fully restored version could fetch 7-8K at an auction. If he would have asked me I would have said do not buy it…I think it needs about 2K to restore it. .
Keep in mind it is a 1959.…I personally think it is not a good choice for just ridding around on. It should be in a museum or on display in a dealer showroom.
