    LOL, I don't think I'd use the word "fabrication" in that description.

    I'm going to have to agree 100%!!!

    Can't you use silicone instead of all that duct tape??? And why did you want a honda thumb throttle? Did the tecates haze twist??? I personally prefer the twist on a trike anyday over a thumb....

    You better hope that does not fail while jumping, cornering or anything else.
    You could be in for a nasty spill if throttle sticks open.

    Seriously, that looks like a trip to the emergency room just waiting to happen.

    I just replaced the thumb on my tecate with a twist...........the aftermarket thumber would only open the carb 1/2 way, I prefer twist anyway.

    That is a two stroke right.... PRAY it does not get stuck wide open. WOT is fine when it's expected but when it does it on it's own it is really really really bad. It's what broke my CR250 and my tailbone - which still hurts 8 years later.

    man oh man, here i was thinking I do some weird stuff....that Honda throttle looks cools sitting next to the Yamaha brake cylinder on the kawasaki trike

    seriously, that sure looks like some serious emergency room bills you have taped to your handle bars! Dave
