you mean the plastic twist part? Bought one early this spring at shawmut hills Honda here in michigan. a closer dealer ( Gars honda ) claimed they were discontinued, shawmut hills said too many bikes used the same sleeve, I think their people are lazy, many parts are dicontinued, but other dealers carry them, so I normaly only go there in an emergency.  Check at least two local dealers is my normal operation

you can buy the single cable throttle over at lowridersbysummers.com for around 18 bucks, seems like a good way to go to me.
