I kind of assumed I'd be using a handgrip-type throttle, like the
Magura. But I want to keep the brake lever and controls from my donor. I
can remove the present throttle grip and mechanism, but I don't know if
the cable exiting the Magura would clear the brake/control casting. One
of the cheaper 'scooter' hall-effects probably would, but they have such
a narrow range of motion. And in both cases, the throttle grip is pushed
out further due to the added mechanism, which may make it hard to grab
the brake.....
I'm thinking it may be simplest to use a standard pot box bolted down on
the frame under the tank and linking it to the stock throttle.
So - what did you all do?
BTW, this is on my BMW conversion (yet unnamed - I'm not very clever).
So far I have the motor coupling and cover completed and hope to weld up
the motor and battery mounts this weekend. Test batteries are shipping
and I'm trying to decide between the 300 and 400 Amp Alltrax.
