Throttle tube replacement without grip

Post by hahahaurugly »

Anyone have any leads for a 72 GT380 throttle tube that doesn't cost $40 and come with a rock hard oem grip I don't intend to use? Motion pro has no Suzuki listings this old and search here turned up nothing on throttle tubes.

Lots on ebay over your side of the pond. Same as the GT250 by the looks too.

Genuine Suzuki available as well, so is there a dealer near you?
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Yeah just trying not to buy a crusty grip I'm not using to get a $7 throttle tube only.

I would assume any 7/8 standard throttle tube would work. They are pretty readily available.

They all have different shape. I assume that there function must be something with cable adjustment and throttle stop built into the tube. As for motion pro maybe I should use a computer because from my phone they only list Honda stuff in the 70's.
