Bike TB cable linkage
Can somebody post a pic of throttle cable linkage for GSXR bike throttle body set up?
Been in garage this afternoon thinking of various ways to ensure a good throttle return and was wondering how others have gone about it, picture of
what I have now:
 
Throttle linkage

I used the side plate that came with the GSXR1000 ITBs I got (had to adjust the throttle pedal range since the amount of cable movement is designed
for a bike hand throttle - obviously). Do you have the original side plate?
I'll post a pic later if I can get out to the garage.

Hope these help.
 
For the trumpets, trimmed down Weber 45 ones fit a treat.

Same side plate and set up as I have (no additional pics required in that case).

I ended up using a brake cable from a bicycle.
The nipple at the end had to be filed down a little bit to fit into the holder on the linkage but it works perfectly.

After a bit of searching in the garage I have found the rest of the bike throttle linkage and got it sorted today, thanks for the pics..
The return spring on the throttle bodies doesnt seem strong enough to fully return with the cable attached, so Ive fitted an additional spring on the
pedal and it now snaps shut quite nicely.
I can fully open the throttle before the pedal touches the bulkhead, to prevent stretching/breaking the cable would it be a good idea to fit some kind
of positive 'stop' on the pedal?
I'm thinking something as simple as a bolt through the bulkhead so the back of the pedal touches aganst the bolt at full throttle, and Im not
stretching the cable?

If the top of the pedal travel is where you want it and is comfortable, then yes some sort of stop is the best way to prevent stretching the cable. A
simple bolt will do, but make sure it's aligned well with the pedal.
