Like the one MB sell:

http://www.lambrettaspares.com/sparepar ... m0060.html

Anyone any experience of these type? Looking to fit one on a cutdown project with Indian GP headset, and MB hydraulic housing, if this makes any difference.

Can you get one from a bike breakers as long as it's 22mm diameter (I believe this is the diameter of Lammy headset bars but I haven't checked yet).

Any feedback from anyone who's used this type in the past is gratefully received :D

Looks very similar to a Tomaselli QA throttle that were used on the race track, if it's the same they were very reliable and easy to set up.

Paul ,these look similar to the Magura ones we used back in the late 80's.

They look good and work well on cutdowns and bikes with old school drops 8)

The "Scooter Loopy " cam is a better method of QA on a full frame these days IMO :D

I know this sounds like strange advice seeing as i do the internal QA throttle Wheels, but the Honda MX throttle is a good choise on bike bars as its action is not all or nothing like some (Docherty, Magura ETC) Make's for a better ride with more progresstion when riding on the road.

Personally I wouldn't bother, all it does is make the headset longer on the throttle side and you need a hole in the headset for the cable.Better to use a modified gear pulley on the throttle bar and these only cost a couple of quid or the SLJ brass ones.

As there'll be plenty of room to avoid having to drill a hole in the headset,and there'll be cables visible between the frame and Vega leggies, I think I might go for the vertical type:

Thanks again :wink:
