Throttle tube
Hey lads, any reason this throttle tube form an 87 CBR740 won't fit my '96 1000?

Alternatively, anyone on the forum have a spare and would like to make a few bucks sending it to Oz?

The only reason I can see for it not fitting would be length of cables, although I'm not sure as we don't have access to a 750 parts list or manual - except in Japanese 
Did the 750F have two cables to the carbs ?
I saw one on e-Bay awhile back, if it won't fit.
See if I can find it...............

some of these will surely fit.

Don't know if you have already tried this , but mate , just take the throttle center down to the biggest bike spares shop in your area (where are you in Oz ?) and compare it to what is available in the way of after market and general purpose ones .... and while you are there , chit maybe they can even order one in for you ??
yu never know !! till yu have a go ....
What is wrong with yours exactly ??

Sorry for the late reply guys!
After realising that part was in Her majesty's coin I did some (bad ) math in my head and figured it was a pricey bit of plastic. Mine is cracked up from hitting the ground a few times, but the cable end is still in tact, so I am thinking I can repair it pretty easy if I can get some plastic pipe the correct diameter.
I live in Sydney so shouldn't be too bad with spare parts, I'll swing by when I have it off and compare it to some aftermarket models.
My poor bike has been neglected the past few months. No maintenance and no mods, she was barely holding herself together and I was still riding it every day. I cleaned out the carbs and flushed the coolant system the other day hoping that I might get it to warm up a little faster but it hasn't really helped, it's still a dog to get out onto the street and up the hill in the morning when I'm running late
I have a new clutch, new handgrips, a MX-style front fender (that none of you guys will approve of) new oil, brake fluid chain and sprockets and a MX-style flat bar to replace the clip-ons...
The hardest part is forcing myself to do 'boring' work ( like bleeding brakes and changing oil) before fun things like motoX bars and pinstripes
Hopefully by Christmas my new parts pile will be a little smaller and the bike will be a little happier!
Remember kids, ride em like you stole em!
