Waverunner Throttle

[kc8pnd]

I have always loved riding waverunners and loved the way they had the throttle lever setup on them. For those of you who don't know its like a weed eater lever. I was wondering if anyone has tried to add a waverunner lever to their ATV yet. I don't think it would get in the way when you are riding, or panic and squeeze it. I think it would be a great thing to try. Just wondering if anyone out there has did this yet. I can get an OEM Yamaha 2005 VX1100 throttle for $61.95

Did he just insult us?? LOL j/k. I think that would suck on a quad, bro. (my 2 pennies) but what ever you like.

my 3 jetskis have thumb throttles and i hate them. they wear me out before my quad does....

[Hyperwarrior22]

some one did have one on a 450R a little while ago

Horrible idea in my opinion.

Scenario: Hair pin corner, slick surface, best way to take it is by riding the front brakes to keep the front end stuck.............how do you ride the front brakes, and give it throttle at the same time.....along with holding on?

Well don't forget the steering wheel and seat belts.

What if somebody got sued and they really did start making us wear seatbelts?

i doubt there will ever be a seat belt on a quad becase if you wreck then your certain to tango with the quad. youd get hurt more with a 400lb machine straped to you. i think rhinos have seat belts, thats it.

[sickmojave]

seat belts will only be used after the roll cage is installed..:huh :rolleyes:

[kc8pnd]

Like the quad on one of the huevos films, I think it was matt colter* that added a seatbelt and the two bars running from bumper to grab bar so you can roll end over end. :D

[coryatver]

yeah definitly want to get away from a rolling quad not be strapped to it :D

[-copyguy-]

Roll cage with front, rear, and side curtain airbags... 5 point harness attached to the cage...and a high back seat.
