Where can I buy a yellow-connector twist throttle?

[Warwick]

I've fitted some bent bars to my Oxygen which have made the riding position much more comfortable. However, I've lost some room to fit bits as a result, the main casualty being the thumb-grip throttle.

I don't use it often, but I would like to have the option. Panda have one that would fit, but it's £25 and the skinflint in me baulks at that price. I've looked on eBay, but they all seem to have another type of connector or simply tabs.

Does anyone know of a cheaper source in the UK or China for such items?

Is it a Thumb throttle or Twist grip you`re after?

I have a yellow end twist grip throttle that i never used, think they refer to it as a Higo connection.

D'oh! I didn't say, did I?! I'm after a twist grip throttle, so if you'd like to sell me yours, could you PM me so we can do the deal offline, please? A photo would be nice to make sure the cable is long enough or an idea of the length would do...

A pic is good idea to confirm the right end fitting as depending on the supplier the higo could be a male or female, that is there doesn't appear to be universal conformity of which end the M/F goes. The same thing occurs with lcd higo's.

See attached... cable is approx 13" and the end connector is female with three pins. Comes with matching left-hand grip as well.

Be careful, the connectors can be the wrong way round. I've seen both male and female connectors on the throttle.

Don't forget that you can cut the connector off your thumb throttle and join it to any throttle.

aliexpress has such cables. i think you would need to solder them properly.

I've also got a spare wuxing one somwhere. I'll dig it out to you can see connector (of different to Tommie at any rate)

Thanks for all the advice & offers. I seem to be sorted.

...Except the throttle bulge on the twistgrip fouls the trigger shifters! Looks like I'll either have to put up without a throttle or go back to the flat bars. I'll probably do the former, as the bars are very comfortable.
