"Thanks James. I had seen the kit on extreme terrain, quadratec, and amazon already. I figure $30 is cheap enough to save me the time hunting parts. I'll spend at least $15 on a shifter, cable, and cable housing, plus time driving over to performance bike. It's always good to make a quick "time value of money" evaluation on these things."
One more thing to think about is whether you want a friction lever that stays in place and holds the throttle position open without your hand on it, or if you want a spring loaded return such that when you remove your hand and are not actively holding it in position, it returns to idle. Both have their plus and minus - As I drive a stick and have no power steering, I really needed it to hold the throttle position as hands free, but I recognize/accept there is always a bit of safety issue with such a set-up. And its easy to get too much throttle and high rev the rpms when you push in the clutch. All-in-all absolutely worth it the money...I first used mine on Chinamans and by the end of the run it felt completely natural and easy.
