I was going to get this and decided on a radial brake setup instead. You can search for other places to buy it but it has adjustable pull ratios. Nice and clean. I don't know how it adapts but our stock throttles are also made by domino. Lets see some pictures if you do it... http://www.carpimoto.it/product/Lang_EN/Chan_1/Bra nd_0/Bike_0/Firm_50/Prod_29410.htm |

I'll take Italian plastic over Chinese pot-metal anyday. Now, the high-buck, internal throttle cable/wiring setups from chopperworld would be neat. |

those robby motot ones are pretty cool but damn they aint cheap! I was looking for a cheaper alternative. same reason I wouldn't want to bore the handlebar clamps out for 1 inch bars.That has been done alot with guys building choppers out of the buells,but same thing alot of money to do it |

other than the machinist fee to drill the hole, it wouldnt be much.. i just sold a one inch bar and complete chrome controls for a hundred bucks.. |
