99cc predator throttle cable?

[tsujinago]

I'm currently working on a rear-mounted Predator build right now - so far, I've got the rack built, the engine mounted, the clutch installed, the sprocket mounted and the jackshaft half-installed.

Once I get the drivetrain done, the last thing I need to get is the throttle - but alas, there are no throttle cable mounts or anything on the Predator. How have you guys set up your throttle cables and what parts did you use?

I just used parts from the engine itself... Here are some photos.

Tsu,
Here's a link to my simple solution for the throttle linkage:

Here's my bone simple method 600 miles so far.
First I removed the fricton throttle lever.
Then I took the stock spring and hooked it towards the pto side of the engine, to pull the throttle shut.
Then I wire clamped the cable housing to the bike frame, close to the carb.
I then connected the cable end to the linkage with a slightly loose saftywire loop, in the hole next to the original throttle rod.

I did nothing internaly to the govenor and it causes no interference at all.
It's been a while since I did this but I think I remember rounding out a "D shaped hole on the bellcrank attachment hole with a dremel, to allow the linc to be independant of the govenor. Can't check mine until I get home this weekend.

Hmm, interesting. Seems like there's a near infinite amount of creative solutions for hooking one of these up - I guess it depends on the application.
