Here's a good method.
Use two cables. One is attached to the throttle slide, the other is attached to the throttle handle. Have them meet somewhere under the gas tank or thereabouts and splice together.
(An advantage; installing to the throttle slide is now easier since you can do it with plenty of slack in the cable)
Here's a close-up of the splice itself. Simple; just two steel plates bolted together. Slip the two cable ends into it and tighten.
This also allows you to easily use something other than the stock throttle grip. I used a thumb shifter at first. But I found that uncomfortable. So now my throttle grip is a twist shifter with the little 'ratchet' removed.
Works great.
