After riding last summer just a few times before I had to winterize it I soon came to the conclusion that the thumb throttle was very uncomfortable on my '95 GTX. I had decided to convert the thumb throttle to a twist throttle that I had in the shop.
Today I start on the swap, but soon came to the conclusion I would have the chop the throttle cable up, and then I wouldn't be able to go back to how it was if I didn't like it. Instead I flipped the throttle to the other side to make it into a pull throttle.
Only problem I'm now left with is the steering pad had a grove cut on it, and I have now flipped the piece to not fit in the groove. I am going to have to come up with an idea to cover or fill in the gap to keep water out. If anyone has good ideas I'm all ears!
Here are some pictures:
Anyways I just wanted to share my little mod with everyone.
In the process I completed a rip that had already begun on my upper steering cover. The cover is getting gummy/sticky so I think it's time to replace.
