RE: Throttle Cable

["Davis Eichelberger" <davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '96 RT had/has a single cable.  It looks like two cables as there are two
sheaths but the actual cable is a single piece which goes from the grip to the
left TB, around the pulley and then through the second sheath to the right TB.
Perhaps the very early 94's had two cables, but I think most of the production
up to the point of adding the junction box used a single cable.
