    hey guys, i am working with a honda cb360t and want to convert the dual cable throttle to a single cable. Does anybody have any info on this? I think i saw cables before that had a spring on them but i cant seem to find them. Any ideas?

    All you have to do is remove the cable that pulls the throttle closed. The spring for the system is on the carburetor butterflies.

    Why do you want to do this? That cable is a safety to allow you to force the butterflies closed if something sticks.

    imo a sprung throttle is alot easier and alot less clutter

    yeah, but apparently the Honda engineers didn't TRUST the spring alone to close the throttles. There must have been a reason for this. Eliminate the "closing" cable and you might find out the HARD WAY why they did it like that...
