Throttle control

I am in the market for an aftermarket throttle control, preferably a quick twist.  What are you guys using?

I'm using a throttle assembly from who knows what. It was attached to a set of Lectrons. It's about 100 degrees. I would like to have a spare pipe but can find one the same so will attempt to make one from alloy.

I do have a Tomasselli quick action (single cable) throttle if you're interested. That is if you can get around the single cable politics.  ;D

I use cagiva/ducati throttles in mine, but if you can afford it, any of the racing ones with changeable throttle pulleys are a nice idea.

I use a Japauto quick twist throttle on mine. 40 years old and still working great.
Better sorry for failing then for the lack of trying.

thanks bwaller but I want a push/pull throttle. 

I really want a Robby Moto but will probably go with the motion pro.

I use the Venhill 888 Fast Action push/pull throttle sets.  They are available through Venhill USA although not advertised on their website (www.venhillusa.com).

On my GSXR1000 I used an R1 throttle tube to make it quicker. Those are inexpensive new and even cheaper used.....plenty available too.

No, will not work with stock switch gear so I am upgrading the controls as well.
