I've been using the twist throttle from NAPA http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/R...=Keyword&Nty=1&Dn=0&D=sme703921&Dk=1&Dp=3&N=0
But I noticed it went up $8 since the last time I purchased one, yikes!

Purty awesome, El Linko. I hate the stock, kit throttles & grips.
Out of habit, been using them even on DIY builds.

Never tried the foam ones, KC. Sounds comfortable.
The plastic covers just feel so chincy and cheap to me. A quality cable is a big factor for me as well. The lil bit of extra smooth just makes for a better ride.

My all time favorite MB throttle came with the old Honda kits. (emmmm, Hondaaa)
It follows to all my daily riders. Has duel brake actuators, kill switch and a semi hard rubber grip sided by faux chrome.

I found some cool billet throttle assemblies on ebay for around $30 and they don't come with grips so you could use any motorcycle or bicycle grip you want on them. I do like the foam BMX grips a lot too since they're cheap, comfortable, and easy to install or remove.
We use the billet throttles from sickbikeparts.com. They are smooth and allow you to put whatever grip you want on them. More importantly, they are the right cable length for either 2 stroke or 4 stroke. The stock throttles are terrible. We have had a few bind up before....not good.
This is the kind I use too. I like that all the important parts are metal. It works fine for me. But, yeah, I remember them being cheaper too.
