TOPIC:

I was wondering if there are any good aftermarket throttle assemblies for a dual cable setup? All I can fid are sing cable, and being that i'm building a drag bike, I like the idea of being able to close the carbs with the throttle, any help or point in the right direction would help....

I you do find one, try to get a 1/4 turn throttle. Makes it easier to launch.

www.pmfronline.com I'm still checking on that swingarm. Pmfr stuff is pretty tough. Been very happy with them so far.

They are $400?!?!?! isn't that a lot? I found an old triumph 7/8" dual cable on ebay for like $23 so far(just found out it is dual pull). Is it because its billet or something? i'm a bit lost

would it make much difference to use just one cable? I'm all about being as safe as possible, I could always rig up something to pull just in case right? I just can't seem to find something that is clean enought to replace it.

Depending on what you have left on your 650, you carbs (if they're VM24's) should have a huge spring to make the throttle return to it's original position, the return cable seems to be almost overkill, but you know what they say...safety first.

FWIW, when I put some CV34's on my bike, they did not have a return cable, but had return spring and it seemed to work fine.

to be honest i have no clue what carbs are on it, but they seem to be stock, and yes there is a huge return spring on there, I guess i should just go by the cycle shop by me and look at what they have for comparison to what I have seen on here

I believe the should be the stock ones

Thats them alright, having a hard time getting them off as it is, but i did find a thread with ideas on it, are there better carbs i should look for? or is there not much difference?

You cuold leave the kill switch on it. At any track there is ample room to freak out, poop yourself then think, hey I have a kill switch.
