Non standard throttle setup?
Hi y’all, picked up this 92 FXSTS through a trade and cash for my old hot rod. Went to swap the 16” apes out for a drag bar and got the grips off to uncover a throttle setup I’m not familiar with.
any advice on how to move forward to a drag bar? I’ll need a new cable anyways as this one is far too long. Should I go ahead and source an oem throttle setup and ditch this old wizard setup?

It's an internal throttle set-up, but no idea what brand, different companies offer them. Do a google on it. You should be able to use it on the new bars if you like the look and the diameter is the same. Just need a shorter cable or you might be able to cut this one to size. If it is like most versions, it is held in place with a screw at the handle bar. Worth a try. If the angle in the bars is too acute, you will might have to get the regular OEM parts.
Nice bike by the way!
