New front brake cables for 1978/79 KL250s are completely unavailable anywhere in the US or Europe. If you don’t believe me just search "54005-1005 cable". You’ll be met with “page not found” or “out of stock” or “unavailable.” Yes you might find an NOS floater on eBay--if it's less than mine, buy it. I found one site that offered the 54005-1005 but when I looked at the product, it was a mislabeled rear.

Look, I know my price is totally nuts but to get a cable for your bike I had to have a custom cables made. I’m sorry but at least I can offer you a new cable. You can try to save your old cable (and I encourage you to do that if it will work), but if you want new replacement contact me at 952-607-6063 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
