Motion Pro sells the turbo twisters. Looks like an old school Magura. You can find them for a steal on eBay most of the time. Finally someone else that can ride a twister!! LOL

if you buy a twist thrtl, get a 1/4 turn one. magura makes them,
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"

Magura 312 twist throttle has two settings ... Enduro 90* and a quicker ratio setting

Motion pro makes a couple, one a Gunnar gasser copy

And the old Gunnar gasser

Motion pro makes cables as does terrycable

The 312 is the old school metal one that they don't make any more the Magura 314 is the new plastic one that they are making.  it is 91* or 103*

If you have a 44 or larger the Magura 312/314 on the short throw is the way to go.

One twist, no re-grip can get the whole throttle

I tun the old gunner gasser (have for 20 years) the gunner gasser is like the motion pro turbo

magura 314--on the plus side it can be set up for a 1/4 turn quick throttle which I like since you can grab full throttle withour having to over rotate your wrist.  on the minus side it is all plastic and does not feel as precdise.  Also this throttloe has no screw adjustment to take up cable slack which makes this throittle a no go for me as not all my cables have adjustments in the cable and there is usually not enough adjustment in the carb alone.

the motion pro turbo.  disadvantage is its more than 1/4 turn and getting full throttle requires a little more wrist twist han I prefer.
Pros--it is much better built. has metal not plastic. can be polished or powder coated. a threaded adjustment bolt/nut to get precise free play.  Its my fav.


If they can't kick start it--THEY CAN'T RIDE IT

If you order from motion pro a motion pro cable specific for your bike, your carb (for the correct free length), & the 314, the adjustment is built in to the cable.

Old timers like myself have seen the black throttle tube for Gunnar gassers that are for the 44 mikuni. Use it with a 39pwk and it's like 1/8 turn!
