    I'll be installing my new Master Cylinder, ans instead of hacking away at my stock lever perch, my thinking about just using a different throttle control.

    Anyone have ant success with other models?

    Thanks!

    What bike will you be doing this to? There are some control diffrences regarding wiring depending on the model of bike you have.

    I'm doing an internal throttle and hidden master cylinder. Completely custom and annoying to fabricate but then again its half the fun.

    Ive ended up with Honda parts on mine.
    Theres a honda throttle body which is pretty slim, but you have to have the right threads on the throttle cable, so i found some ultra cheap honda throttle cables (push and pull) but they were too short.
    So I cannibalised everything, ending up with the old xj outer and inner cable, with the honda thread end and then soldered a new nipple on to finish.

    Over here we have Venhill or carrot cycles offering cable parts.

    I redid all my wiring which took a while but made sense in the end.
    You'll be fine.
