I must admit the parts aren't as popular as I'd hoped! I've now got the throttle tube, as it was only about £6 brand new genuine Honda. I have yet to buy the housings though, and they are an absolute rip off from Honda, as you say, over £40.

I did find a site called Slipstream performance, who are based in Australia. A couple of the guys there are from the UK and even with postage the toal was about £20 for both housings so i will order them next week i think. Any recommendations Stimpy?

I need to get one aswell, Matt if you order one let me know and il get one too, keep the postage costs down.

Stimpy, Can you get hold of throttle cables cheap? they seem to be expensive in the UK too.

cheers

that would be great stimpy,

so is that cable A or B which you dont use? do you think that would effect me riding on the road at all?

Pics sound great mate. I cant see the return cable making much difference, did you ever try to run one with the MC21 housings?
