Aftermarket Throttle/clutch assemblies
« on: March 07, 2015, 11:16:43 AM »
Hello.  Excuse my ignorance because this is my first ever bike build.  My old throttle/clutch assemblies are busted and now gone and I'm looking for a simple replacement on aftermarket handlebars (clip-ons, 7/8).  Its a cafe racer build so what I need is just simple and doesn't require a push-start assembly or any light switch assemblies or anything like that.  Being my first build, I don't even know where to start looking or what I should be looking for, for something just simple.  Any ideas I would appreciate it!  And just for fun, here's the bike so far :)

Oh and not to mention that I need cables too.  Do I need push and pull cables?

I'm in the same boat. Only early cb750s use single cables. Check your carb where the throttle connects. Easy to tell.

I am going to use a modern cbr1000 throttle assembly with cables that are for cb750s. Just at the throttle grip needs to be a right angle threaded end. Really everything can be purchased off the shelf.

No I can't seem to justify the cost of there products, however I do have there throttle cables bought from Amazon hell of a lot cheap there! And they seem nice. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

bought my push pull system from cognito moto (pretty cheap i think), but without the cables.
Just modified bicycle brake cables to use for the push/pull, cheap much :)

Has anyone used the Motion Pro throttle:

No, but I've got the Domino quick ratio setup...

Avoca - you want a push/pull throttle assembly, and use both cables.

OK great I appreciate it

And thank you to everyone else
