Motion Pro Throttle Assembly
I replaced the throttle assembly for a number of reasons:
1. I wanted to clean up the front end.
2. I took apart the switches and couldn’t put them back together again, and keeping the throttle assembly without switches would look weird.
3. My buddy Tyler replaced the throttle on his CB and I wanted to one up him.
I knew I wanted the assembly to be made of metal but I couldn’t find any cool looking billet aluminum assemblies. I ultimately went with a cast aluminum throttle from Motion Pro.
I’ve purchased their cables before and they are a good company to deal with. The kit even came with an allen wrench.
This particular model is a push/pull throttle but can be used for just pull much like the original OEM assembly.
It also comes in chrome but I chose black enamel for contrast on the chrome bars.
The whole thing is around an inch wide. Much slimmer than the original Honda part.
Gee whiz that’s pretty.
Before shot with original master cylinder, switches, and throttle.
are you not using the ‘pull’ throttle cable? is this somewhat normal? Having a hard time getting the throttle assembly back together for some reason and my ‘push’ is hanging on by a thread anyway so Im thinking of ditching it until the new set comes in.
I’m only using one cable. That’s the way it was set up on the original assembly. My carbs have a spring that flicks the throttle back to its original position. If your carbs have the same mechanism, you can ditch the second cable.
