I came up with a simple fix for the burnt decomp cable on my TLR200. As you know the cable touches the rear heat shield on the exhaust pipe and it gets burned through to the metal guard.

What I did was take a short section of fiberglass sheath like the that used by the theatrical lighting industry. While it may singe over time it will never burn through even with a direct flame appiled.

I then dipped the ends in PlastiDip (like used for your tool handles to make them non-slip) to prevent the ends from fraying apart.

Before I slipped this over the cable I patched up the missing section with Permatex Ultra Black Silicone sealant. This is good for up to 500 degrees.

The photos show the results.
