Quality twist throttle?

[stringer]

Has anyone had luck with a good quality twist throttle set? The one that came with the staton kit is pure junk. It keep snagging up, and its made out of communist chinese pot metal.

I would really like to order an all-weather twist throttle with a built in kill switch. But im afraid I dont know which to buy, and im worried about compatability issues. And would I need a cable too? I have a cable for the staton twist, it came installed. My bar is 7/8's.

Any ideas?

Not good quality, but here's one I found. Maybe we are stuck with these, unless you buy a replacement ATV thumb throttle.

And a replacement ATV throttle.

Thats the EXACT throttle i have now that came with the staton kit, it feels like junk. The reviews on that site pretty much sum it up ... 1.6/5 stars.

Im looking around now for a good one. Hopefully I can find something. I dont mind being the guinea pig. What about a dirt bike throttle, would that work?

Can anyone elaborate on "straight pull" vs "side pull" throttle kits? I see them both advertised but am unsure which style I need.

Also, what cable size are you ppl finding to be correct for a 26" mountain bike/rack mount? staton supplied cable is 60". i dont have anything installed at all, but it seems like maybe a 54" would be a good fit?

ok guys what do you think of this throttle setup. again its for a 26" mtb with rack mount staton friction kit.

Motion Pro throttles are quality throttles that are used a lot pitbikes and motocross bikes. If you want a very good quality billet throttle that will last I would recommend something like this- http://www.sgr-usa.com/product_info.php?products_id=432&osCsid=ab82bdab153c29be1f178e58c328731f

or if you want the best of the best- http://xr50.com/jotbith.html

for my rack mount i used a 72" and wired the cable underneath the bottom frame tube and its perfect length

http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...eafCatId=11510 Exactly the throttle i have never had a problem with it but i used the curved cable adjuster we get with the kits like i said works great just add your kill switch
