I bought two of the kits from these guys...............seem good so far used them for over a year now and you get to make up new cables and so can route them as you like.

I agree, we have Venhill on four bikes now, and their cable kit is excellent too.

yes you are being a numpty

twistgrip assemblies and cable are prety much a generic item and fit many many models....................

And so one size fits all as they say here is the kit I bought

I've fitted the Domino throttle to a couple of my bikes with no problems. They are a good quality kit and perform well, but to be honest have nothing else to compare them with. Also maybe being a bit naughty as using the single cable version ie relying on the spring on the carb for throttle return, but it works well and absolutely no problems either on road or track.

I found that I needed a slightly longer throttle cable to cut to the length required, as the standard cable for the ZXR is just a smidgeon too short. Got a cable from a ZX6R lying around and used that as a donor. I snipped the nipple from it, removed the cable from the shroud and re-inserted it into the ZXR4 shroud just to keep things as standard as possible. Wrap some insulating tape around the end of the cable before you cut the nipple to avoid loose strands..keeps things smooth for drifting it back thru the shroud. From there it was a case of trial and error to find the perfect position for the kit nipple and still leave adjustment. Whole thing takes about an hour so not a big job. Watch out as there are two settings for the throttle, the cam is reversible depending on what you want.

I got a few units from Allens Performance a couple of months ago. Cost then for the kit was £21.00 + VAT. Domino Part Number is 1469.03 (think its for an Aprilia?). Much cheaper than some of the race suppliers!

I like the domino throttles too. I like the grips you get with them aswell. The only reason i got a venhill, was cos i could'nt find a supplier of the domino's and thought i would give the venhill a go.
I would say they are both very good. The domino was smoother,better action and less bulky.... but i smashed it fairly easy in a crash.. the venhill looks like it may take a beating better..
