WTB Throttle control handle

Post by Don O »

Needed throttle handle for 1976 Cyclone, AM54211or AM53582 or a way to fix short of turning new metal insert.

I've used the two part epoxy for plastic to glue the metal ring back into the grip before. It's still holding. If you want to go a step farther you could locate the grip in the position you like and drill a hole straight through the grip and handle bar. You can then install a roll pin to lock the grip in place. The 340/S grips are this way.

Troy,
I like your rollpin method, I talked to Howard about epoxy and his question was, what if you want to take it off?
Thanks for the help
