Simple way to secure your cables

Here is a quick and easy tip to secure cables that go into our adjusters.
I have seen many sets of cables coming out of their adjuster housing up at the carb, but this isn't just limited to that area. Since these are backing out they should be safety wired. I call it leashing, but you can call it whatever you would like. You attach the safety wire about 1" out from the adjusting nut. Then twist it and secure it again right up at the opening of the adjusting nut. Then twist is again and secure it around the adjusting nut itself. The pictures will do a better job of explaining. It will now never move. I usually do it to throttle cables too
Here are a few pics of the choke cables I saw just this morning.
