From: 'Hog on 4 Jan 2010 06:42 I would like to change the integrated throttle/brake setup on the 100RS for two separate units. A quick action throttle and brembo master cylinder. The brake side is easy enough and I'm comfortable relocating the switch functions to a panel in the fairing. The throttle bit has had me wondering for a long time though. Where would one get a suitable quick action throttle and assuming the original cables wouldn't then fit how does one go about sorting that out. The original throttle uses two cables but I suppose a 1:2 setup would be possible. -- Hog

Have you tried googling for "quick-action throttle" -- I get lots of hits (and a quick glance shows prices between �20 and �140). > The original throttle uses two cables but I suppose a 1:2 setup would be > possible. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

Might have to be DIY, but they may do bespoke to your measurements. Their special throttle cables with built in adjusters are still doing sterling service on the Morini after many years. http://www.venhill.co.uk/Cable_kits_and_components/UNIVERSAL_CABLE_KITS -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

This'll do it for a Boxer, but you'd need to compare the pulley diameters to see if there's any mechanical advantage over the standard kit: <http://www.venhill.co.uk/Controls/MOTORCYCLE_CONTROLS/TWISTGRIPS/125400_ TWISTGRIP_TWIN_PULL__305_1_PI-SZ_.html> Obviously you'd need to make up new cables too...
