I got the dual gasser and I love it. I dont even use the thumb throttle anymore.

they look to be decent i suppose. they may work pretty good for you if you dont want a dual gasser or something. steve

if your not interested in any of the choices already listed, there is a couple other options.
A little pricey though...

one thing to keep in mind is that although you have move leverage with a longer lever,...
The longer the lever gets, the more you will need to keep your thumb in an "open" position.
This is what was causing my wifes hand to cramp up, and why I chose to modify a trx90 lever, as opposed to a lever extender.

She has ridden a few times now, with the modified lever, and is much happier. I did the same mod to my 8 year old daughters trx90, and she also likes it alot more.

hope this helps.

I bought one like the bass pro shops listed above... Not really worth the $20.00 in my opinion. It does bring the contact pad a bit closer, but still had some cramping... In my first off-road race! www.stx-atv.com has a cross country venue that was pretty demanding for an old fart like me! I never knew I had muscles where I now hurt! LOL I will try to find some one with a twist throttle to see if I like it? I don't ride motor cycles alot but I have before... Should be like riding a bike LOL

Wel I found out my previous owner created more headaches LOL! As I was riding back to camp at Hidden Valley Adventure park my thumb lever came loose!!! Freespinning 360*! I had to idle it back to camp. Oncew I got the4 cover off I found the bolt had coome loose? Even with the locking washer! Seems he "adjusted" the position of the thumb lever further in, and this was causing my problem! I put everything back into the notched out and was able to ride much further! I see how the extra 1/4 inch angle would be handy... Thanks all!

Now off to find a good cooling fan for the oil! This 440 jure gets hot quick...
