Right hand throttle control conversion

    Hi. I have a brother who has a prosthetic leg on his left leg and therefore has difficulty operating the clutch pedal. He needs to construct a manual handclutch lever on the left side. This means he needs to move the throttle to the right side.

    Has anyone seen any conversion kits to shift the throttle and ignition controls. I've seen it before but can't find it now.

    Regards

    Jorgen

    Hi, just swap the cables from carburettor to magneto and vice versa without touching the handle bar twist grips. The cables should be long enough!

    You will need to swap the spirals out, as the left hand twist grip has a pull action for the carb, and the right hand twist grip has a push action for the magneto advance on a standard set up. Both twist grips have a left hand spiral on the stock set up. Walkers or Greers will sell right hand spiral twist grips. It may be worth looking at replacing the cables and internals as well if there is any marked wear or kinks in the cables. 

    Grip Control Sleeve Assembled (RH Spiral) ( Not Indian Standard but some prefer this option)
