Choosing the right cable is one of the most common decisions in powersports parts accessories. For a Benelli Wards Fireball, that decision comes down to two NOS lines: the clutch cable G244/4 and the rear brake cable G244/7. Both fit the Trail, Racer, and standard models, but each one has a specific job and length.
Both the Benelli Wards Fireball Racer Trail & standard Clutch cable G244/4 NOS and the Benelli Wards Fireball Racer Trail & standard rear brake cable G244/7 NOS are listed as Benelli-branded vintage parts with a black finish and universal fitment. The G244/4 is the clutch cable, and the G244/7 is the rear brake cable; their dimensions differ accordingly.
Quick verdict
If you need to restore clutch actuation, go with the clutch cable G244/4. If the rear brake is the system you're servicing, go with the rear brake cable G244/7. Both are listed at USD 1.00, so the listed price doesn't separate them; the job does.
Comparison at a glance
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Part Number | Cable Role | Outer Cable | Inner Cable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benelli Wards Fireball Racer Trail & standard Clutch cable G244/4 NOS | USD 1.00 | G244/4 | Clutch | 41 in | 49.75 in (1.5 mm) | |
| Benelli Wards Fireball Racer Trail & standard rear brake cable G244/7 NOS | USD 1.00 | G244/7 | Rear brake | 18 in | 27 in (1.5 mm) |
Where each cable wins
The G244/4 clutch cable is the longer of the two, matching the run from the clutch lever to the actuator. The G244/7 rear brake cable is the shorter line, corresponding to the rear brake run. When both products carry the same listed price, the winning choice is determined by the cable your Fireball needs.
Product notes
Benelli Wards Fireball Clutch Cable G244/4 NOS
When the clutch side of a Fireball restoration needs attention, the G244/4 is the cable to order. This Benelli Wards clutch cable comes as a new old stock part with manufacturer part number G244/4, and it is listed as a vintage part with universal fitment. The longer line matches the clutch actuation run, and the fitment range covers the Trail, Racer, and standard Fireball models. The limitation is functional: it is strictly a clutch cable, so it will not serve as the rear brake cable. If the worn cable in your project is on the brake side, the G244/4 is not the part number that matches that job.
Benelli Wards Fireball Rear Brake Cable G244/7 NOS
The G244/7 is the rear brake cable counterpart in the same Fireball family. It also carries new old stock status, vintage part designation, universal fitment, and a black finish, but its shorter line matches the rear brake run. The part number G244/7 is listed for the Trail, Racer, and standard Fireball models, so it covers the same model range as the clutch cable. The trade-off is that this is not a clutch cable; it is specifically the rear brake line. If you need clutch actuation, the G244/7 is not the cable for that role. For a rear brake replacement, though, this cable lines up with the intended system.
Final choice by use case
Use the G244/4 clutch cable for clutch work on a Trail, Racer, or standard Fireball. Use the G244/7 rear brake cable for rear brake work on the same models. Both are NOS vintage parts with universal fitment, so the final decision is simply which cable matches the system you are servicing.
