Hey all,
One of the first things i did when i got my mtb was to grab the dual brake leaver. My setup (of which i have no pics, sry) is the brake leaver on the left, with the clutch under it so i can pull both together, since i let the engine die at lights instead of idling. On the right, i have the killswitch in the plastic mount that comes with the plastic twist throttle. The twistgrip throttle, however, is not on there. My bike has multiple gears, and so it has trigger shifters intergrated with a brake leaver (standard shimano ones, as on most mountain bikes). Since i have the dual pull leaver, the brake on the right hand side is not used. I wired my throttle cable into the brake leaver, which was literally a perfect fit, and now i have a throttle instead of a brake. It is WAY easier on the wrist then holding the twist throttle at full for hours, and the mechanism is certainly superior to the bendable plastic throttle. I love it.
Anyone else modified their throttle? How, with what, etc.?
