The twistgrip rubber had stretched and no longer gripped the throttle.
It had been like that for about 3weeks now, I had been using a jubilee clip........ shocking
Also, one of the screws in the right switch gear had seized and I needed to lube up the cables.
The right side indi rubber had perished and i needed a replacement.
The indi mounts were rusted to hell, they needed replacing n all.

I popped over to my local bike breakers to have a rummage through their stores, they have bits for everything.

Grabbed a switchgear + twistgrip + throttle, right side indicator mount and a indicator.
£10

Get home, drilled out the seized screw, removed the old switchgear.
Oh wait..... lights on/off....? I didnt have that on the old one.
FU, FU IN THE FACE!
Picked up the wrong switch gear. FAIL.
Cant put the old one back on as that fuxord.

Bike sitting there with no throttle or right had switch gear. GRRRRRRR

Just bought a replacement from ebay for £15, but ill have to wait until atleast weds for it to arrive.
Had to buy a replacement throttle cable too as the plastic bit got fuxord.

Ive relocated the pins in the plug to match that of the old gear, might get round to giving it a bash today. But its a ball ache removing the tank and im not sure if i can be arsed.

Sorted cos i am awesome.

Cancelled the order for another switch gear, the throttle cable will suffice until a replacement arrives.

Made one decent switch gear from the 2.
Relocated the pins in the correct order, used the front housing of the old one, used the starter button from the old one.

Very Happy
