Throttle Thumb Screws; The Latest

Post by minivin »

As the regulars will know on here I designed some adjuster screws that fit on the throttle balance screws on the throttle bodies so that accurate adjustment of the throttles can be done.

Welllll...... the drawing is with my local machinist and they are hoping to have a few dozen knocked out very soon and will be anodising them for good measures as well.

Colours at the moment look to be:

Dark Blue
Red
Silver
Yellow
Black

Hopefully I should be getting the confirmation on completion in three weeks time.

Any other items people want me to design and get going???? :)

Regards

Rob Vincent

Mark 1's were top-hat form so that the grub screw was fitted into the smaller diameter section while the broader diameter setcion was knurled.

This was ok for the nearside, however the fuel line on the offside got in the way for installation (opps, moral of this story is don't try to take dimensions while upside down over another motorcycle in a poorly lit garage ;) ), new design now has the shape comparable to the adjuster lock-nuts on ol' cable operated handlebar levers thereby reducing the height of the item and meaning it will now slot-in.

Hopefully late next week will be the procurement stage from the manufacturer! they've been too busy to produce unfortunately, however they also may be getting another order for other items as well but I aint saying anything yet :wink:
