Yamaha Sr 125 1982 front brake cable (drum)

I've snapped my front brake cable. Looked at the usually places, amazon/ebay/weemoto etc etc

They all have clutch cable pictures on front brake cable listings.

Does anyone know where I can get a cable from?

I've changed my clutch cable thanks to ordering one, not looking at the picture, but have no front brake to ride!!!

They will look much the same, they work much the same, they adjust much the same.

What was you expecting it to look like?

find your bike on cmnsl...see the exploded views and get the part number ( or buy from cmnsl if you can afford ) ....use the part number to chase the brake cable down.....maybe dammerals in cornwall are still going and yam agents....see mcn for yam dealers..... cable may ( may ) be similar to cb125s Honda.......

@dansp1 I can see the brake cable there, but it's also got other cables in the picture, so I'm going to take the shot and buy it, and if it's wrong, your going to get the blame!

@bike not cmnsl doesn't have my bike listed, the insurence company tell me its an Yamaha SR 125 SE, the log book says Yamaha no model number!

Are you sure that the cable on the bike is the right one?

If you peel back that rubber sleeve, does the cable somehow attach to the threaded rod?

It appears to be a solid joint, no doubt soldered/welded together.

I've messaged the seller, informed them it was the wrong cable the have replied, and asked me to send in my cable so they can match it, problem is I don't know the length of the cable as the top, the part that snap has gone walk abouts.
