Throttle Tube Question (82' GS1100)

[Bohlder]

Afternoon!!

OK, So, My handlebars SUCKED! So they are GONE! But in the same process I had to take out the throttle housing and found that the grips had an internal throttle tube...I found a few options for replacement, but I havent ordered any yet...

I wanted to run it by you guys before I go and buy some cheepo tube...

Where can I find just a tube? Eventually I want one of those fancy metal ones, mabey.

But...any Ideas?

If you are careful the old grip can be cut off the throttle tube so you can reuse it. You may have to trim down some ribs on the tube but that's easy enough to do.

SO, just about any 7/8" throttle will work? Even an R1?

The housing is what Im having difficulty with...I mean fitting the tube into the housing.
