coxy Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Got one fitted to my gasser and think they are good. Not really sure how much they are so dont know if they are value for money but they certainly make the throttle smoother and lighter in my opinion especially when your pulling on the bars. Will probably get one for my next bike if it doesnt have one on if they arent too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiechris Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think there are two types out there. The Hebo one uses a ball bearing race and is part of a bar end. You have to.cut about 10 to 12mm off the end of the handlebar. I am more familiar with the Gas Gas or S3 one as fitted to the 2011/2012 Raga models. It uses a small roller bearing that runs in an insert that goes inside the handlebar. Only problem is that you can't really run bar ends with this one but it is nice and smooth. It also keeps dirt from getting between the throttle sleeve and bar. If you have access to a lathe it is possible to make the S3 type work with homemade bar ends :-) Chris.

aussiechris Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks lowbrow, they look great. Pity they weren't available a year ago - would have saved many hours designing and machining my own. Regards, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
