I need to see some pics of the throttle cable connection for Twin HS2.

I have what looks like the standard mount for the cable to go into, but I am not getting full travel on the throttle shaft.  It appears that the mount is too far forward (away from the linkage)... when it appears to need to be more "above" the connection to allow full travel.

Anyone have a shot of their hook up?

Thanks

Do you have pictures of your linkages you're using?  It can be fiddly but shouldn't be too difficult to get full travel.

Hey.  It had the bracket that is noted in the minispares parts... anyway, I just used another mount from an HIF44 (not sure if its original to that model) and bent it and reshaped it so it sits more directly on top of the lever... problem solved...

I didn't try to adjust the linkage on the throttle shaft... I just thought of that.

Awaiting a new dist cap before we see if this all works out...

I'd still like to see any pics of a "normal" set up... I'd prefer not to use my crazy frankenmount, but it seems to work.
