Throttle grip

[Walter Keller]

Who sells a good quality replacement twist grip throttle? - the one we were using was bought at Northern Tool and it broke rather fast. Dont mind paying for a decent unit.
Thanks

MFG supply ones are pretty good, haven't broke mine yet!

well... until i even had a twist grip... i had a brake lever for a throttle.

however, i just recently upgraded to my first and only twist grip. it is a twist shift from a mountain bike. it works well, is smooth and seems durable enough... and probably already has a cable.
i do however recommend taking out the spring loaded pawls that lock the grip into each gear... for mine, that was as simple as taking out one little piece of spring steel.
thats also prolly cheaper than buying them too.

but if u really wanna buy one, i heard somewhere on the net of billet twist grips... lemme try and find the link...
here ya go...

also, try typing "twist grip" into ebay, that yielded quite a few legitimate results for me...


good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions - my 10 year old wants to get riding again.

any moto twist grip should work. betting they would last longer too! i think i've seen kits for $30, for aftermarket. check partsunlimited's catalogs

the grip

parts unlimited looks like a good source - just have to measure the bars.
