Looking for new throttle - not cheap reproduction.

[bkaushansky]

I'm looking for a low profile billet or steel throttle. Not a cheap repo or second rate chrome. Something like this or with even less profile.

This is from lowbrow. For $18 is hard to believe its quality. Anyone bought one? How about TCbros version.

This one is for $32.

Also found a Douherty UK model.

I got one of the repo ones from 650central and it sucks. I had to modify it quite a bit to get it to work with a stock throttle cable and even then it still didn't really work. Looking for a replacement myself at the moment.

That's what I'm talking about. Quality parts are hard to come by. I've done custom cables before, so I'm not worried about the cabling. Just want the metal parts to fit right and be "finished".

Tommaselli's are the way to go! Don't buy some Chinese junk, you'll end up shopping for another throttle in a couple months.

Here are some I found on google:

You don't by any chance have a source for the Tomaselli's???

I have the tc bros ones They look like the ones in the first pick probably the same I like them so far I just had to use my stock cable though I had to tap the hole it the throttle a bit bigger to fit stock cable

 

[jamesgs4]

The tc one looks identical to the lowbrow one. The 14 dollar price difference is just a markup, not an increase in quality. Not all overpriced parts are actually better. I use a throttle from steadfast cycles.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Also used one from steadfast (looks the same as lowbrows) first one was broken during shipping and the second one broke while I was putting it on. Junk

I used the one from lowbrow and its worked just fine, but i had to file and and grind the plastic insides before it would move freely.

 

[crazyazsredneck]

got mine from lo brow works great

 

[bkaushansky]

dqnjuan,

Plastic insides?? throttle tube or is the outer shell "plastic chrome"?

 

[Mellowyellow]

Mine wasnt plasic it was cheap cast. So sounds like lowbrows is better.

There are a bunch of links below the picture, Italian is the way to go =]. I found mine on fleabay for about 40 bucks shipped. NO plastic sleeve, throttle is pulled by a small chain connected to the metal sleeve. Super smooth. Easy to access and maintain.

*edit*

one day left on this one. cheapest one on ebay.

those first couple pics looks like the very cheap emgo brit style. Was thinking about getting one, but not now. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[dqnjuan]

bkaushansky, the throttle tub where the cable end spins inside it wouldnt move freely.

 

[birdhouse]

that throttle at the very top from lowbrow is a piece of shit!!! do not buy it. Its stiff non responsive potmetal chromed junk. You get what you pay for!!!! I ordered one and never sent it back. I would be embarrased to sell it

 

[chopfather]

I got one off of an old suzuki dirt bike that had been sitting against a shed with vines growing all over the bike. A buddy picked it up and I snagged the aluminum throttle from it and it works great after a bit of cleaning.

I got one from steadfast and it broke right away....junk

 

[rwingsfan]

The ones from dirtbikes usually are very good.
