This may be the best and cheapest mod I have ever made. I call it the Eric Throttle because the first place I ever saw one was in his rig. A left over mountain bike brake lever and a $5 set of cables are all you need to make up this throttle that is attached to your stick shift.
A piece of fuel vent hose makes up a bushing to fill the extra space in the lever mounting hole. Bike handle bars are much larger than our shifters. The cable is attached to the location on the pedal that the stock hand throttle goes into. The main difference between this one and the stock one is that the Eric Throttle works just like the acclerator pedal, pull the brake lever and the motor speeds up. Let go and it’s back to idle. The stock throttle just pulls out and stays at a constant rpm. This new set up is far more useful.
The first time you use one of these on the rocks you will wonder how you ever got along without it….
