Has anyone tried using an internal throttle set up on the Sporty? Specifically one with a carb. I've found two set ups but am not quite sure they would be compatable if the they are how well they would work (smoothness, not cheap feeling).
I have no experience with either of these personally, but I've been researching going to an internal throttle on my '01 and there are quite a few people who have done them. Search the Sporty forum for internal throttle and you'll get a lot of opinions. One thing most users here have said, the cheap ones (sub $100) aren't worth it.
