#26706 olestar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Throttle sleve part 5 Years ago   In looking through most forums I notice the problem of the throttle sleve, under the right grip has never been addresed. When you go to aftermarket grips you either have to modify the stock sleve or find a replacement part from another bike. Yamaha only sells the sleve with its grips for 70 dollars, which you have to cut and grind to fit into a standard 1-1/8 grip. Has anyone else made these modifications, or found a differnt bike sleve that works? A company that makes these sleves dosen't make one for the Roadstar but says the sleve from a 1500 intruder may work, it is only 25 dollars but I don't want to waste the money.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #26709 Jreed (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 533 Re:Throttle sleve part 5 Years ago   I purchased a set of kuryakyn ISO grips and didn't have a problem, but you may be talking about something different.<br><br>Post edited by: Jreed, at: 2007/05/14 15:05   Logged     http://www.nopork.com/imagesbikesalt/easy1962_1.jpg [url=http://www.wunderground.com/US/GA/Tunnel_Hill.html?bannertypeclick=gizmotimetempbig] http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetempbig_both/language/www/US/GA/Tunne   The administrator has disabled public write access. #26721 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Throttle sleve part 5 Years ago   Same here...Kury ISO grips, and they went right on. Only difference between them and the Yami chrome grips I replaced is the Kury's seem to have about 1/16 of an inch of wiggle room moving from end of bar towards risers and back again. Not annoying, and not even noticeable while riding.

I am making a sleve out of 1&quot; copper pipe with a coupling on the end,drilled for the throttle cables. My question was to find out if any one had tried other ways to accomplish this. Thanks for all replies.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
