[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 406604, member: 13140"] I had to make an extension to fit a vintage Honda outboard. The Honda twist throttle did not like the mod and it broke the plastic twist mechanism. The good thing was the twist grip went into a cable that was just like a bicycle break cable. I added a longer cable to extend down the length of the extension and tried a thumb throttle at first made from an old shifter but settled on a BMX bike break lever. I used it like that for 5 years and loved it. One finger is all the throttle needed. A dirt bike throttle would have worked but I really liked the break lever. [/QUOTE]
