What does 'open side' mean for this throttle cable?

The 'open side' refers to the end of the cable that connects to the throttle mechanism. This design typically means it has a specific fitting or loop that attaches directly to the throttle linkage or lever, as opposed to a universal barrel or ball end.

Is this cable compatible with aftermarket carburetors?

While this cable is designed for the stock setup of your 1980-1983 Harley-Davidson FLT Tour Glide, it may work with some aftermarket carburetors that use a similar throttle linkage connection. It's best to compare the end fitting with your carburetor's attachment point.

Do I need any special tools to install this throttle cable?

Typically, installing a throttle cable requires basic hand tools like screwdrivers and possibly wrenches to disconnect the old cable and secure the new one. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific installation procedures and tool requirements.
