    Aftermarket push pull throttle for '78 750?

    Are there any aftermarket push pull throttles that will work with the '78 750 cables? I wanna get rid of the stock plastic assembly and get a metal housing (with a metal or plastic throttle tube) without any buttons on it. I can't seem to find anything that looks like it will work with the stock cables. I don't want to have to get custom cables made and I really don't want to only have a pull cable

          Or get a throttle from any dirt bike and lose the extra cable.

              I was looking at the motion pro but it seems it needs cables with two different sized ends http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...nL._SX522_.jpg

              Like I said, I would really like to keep the push pull system.

                  I found this Motion Pro kit while searching and am curious if this will work. http://www.dynomanperformance.com/carb/pushpull.html I have clubman bars so the cables being a bit shorter won't be an issue. I just don't wanna purchace it and end up having there be something I'm missing to cause it to not work

                      Seems to me that you would be missing the Run/Stop switch and the starter button, but who needs safety and convenience anyway?

                          I plan on using a Run/Stop switch and start button from a cbr (one of the models where it is just the switches) to update the controls a bit

                              Kwaka KLR650 push - pull throttles are metal and work on the 80's GSX1100s, used to run one of these on my kat in the 90's for Smoothbore carbs

                                      I ended up getting the Motion Pro push pull throttle and cables I linked. Works perfect, also am using a start/kill switch from a 2008 cbr1000rr
