#239199 Busta (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 34 replacement Throttle Sleeve? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Anyone know where I can buy a replacement throttle sleeve? I destroyed mine while removing the ISO grips. I am in the middle of changing over to 14 inch apes, with white coke bottle grips. Going for a bobber look on the RS. Probably have bitten off more than I can chew, but I will have fun no matter what the outcome. Thanks guys-CB   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #239212 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first.

If Clifford is on here he might have one in stock.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #360270 massagemick@yahoo.com (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 81 Re:replacement Throttle Sleeve? 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Busta wrote: Anyone know where I can buy a replacement throttle sleeve?

I damaged mine drilling the bar end weight out to install polly grip heaters. (not recommended)(the heaters work good, but the drilling.....) Yep, I drilled off center, and into the top of the bar. I cut a little bit out of a 3/4 copper coupling to shore up the part I drilled out, filled in the gap (thickness of the bar) with jb weld. sanded down smooth, lubed with white lithium grease. I picked out the burrs from the throttle sleeve, sanded that too, but somehow the sleeve seems to have shrunk, it won't just slip onto the bar, and while I can turn it, the spring won't bring it back, I have to untwist the throttle, which could be a problem. Does anyone have a used sleeve? Any ideas/thoughts/opinions? thanks   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #360271 Corrupt Silence (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:replacement Throttle Sleeve? 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Give Tim a holler...

All you needed to do was drill out the welds and they slide right out.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access.
