Well I was out working on standup wheelies today. One foot on a back left peg one on the brake. I was in the top of second and it just go away from me. I hit the ground trying to run but couldn't keep up and went sliding, got some nice road rash on my shoulders and ankle.

Crappy part is when I walked over to pick up my fiddy the throttle grip just fell off, broke at the throttle cable disk. So i need a new throttle. I am planning on assembling some bars using spare bmx bars, and xr70 clamps. My question is what should i order. Do I just need a slightly larger throttle tube like the one fast50 sells? Or do I need the tube and the brake perch and switch etc? Help me out so I can get back on the road asap!

Come on guys I need some help here. I'm now debating on wether to buy a big bar kit instead of trying to piece one together. I figured that assembling a kit may be only slightly cheaper than buying one. I figure $20 for the clamps, $30 for the bars, $100 for the throttle w/perch, $10 for the cr kill switch, so theres $160, might as well spend the other $20 for the bbr kit. If I do make my own kit do I need to buy a throttle assembly like one that fast 50 sells or can I just use any old motorcycle twist throttle? I want to get all this stuff ordered so hopefully I can be riding again by the end of the week.

 

if your lookin for the cheapest way out go red baron they got cheap throttle tubs and all that good stuff

 

hey bro SEND AMM82 a PM about where he got his Big bar kit from. I think he got everything you want NEW for $140.

 

One thing I noticed is that alot of those big bar kits, pro taper, bbr, red baron, all have plastic throttle tubes. After seeing how easy my stock tube broke I really want a billet tube. Anyone know if the billet tube that fast 50's sells will work with other bar kits?

buy a plastic 7/8" tube on ebay. ive seen em as cheap as $8. ive had mine for over a year now with no problems. handelbars go for around $1-$5. do some lookin. also, dont use xr70 clamps. u can get a nice billet clamp for around $50. the deals are out there just look.
