Hi, new here, finishing up a V8 trike project. Would like to see how y'all are getting full throttle using a stock Harley twist grip. I can only get about 1/2 to 2/3 movement. Any help is appreciated.

But like I said.....in the end of it all you already have certain parts that you want to make work. Bottom line is the carb lever is the simplest to modify and is currently too long. Shorten the lever (it will increase force also) and give it a try.
an automobile carb will have pretty strong return spring, hence a lot of torque needed to hold throttle open at cruise. Does the harley have a 2 cable system so you can have a weaker return spring? Or, is this not a good idea to lessen spring pressure?:xzqxz:
LOL true, travel was the original issue....I'm thinking about 10 miles down the road when your wrist is getting tired and you are wishing for cruise control!
