Default Throttle assembly

I'm trying to clean up my bars and one thing is finding a throttle assembly that'll work with my current throttle/idle cables. Are they thread in?
(Don't have my bike here with me to tear it apart myself).

If you are asking if the throttle cables are threaded into the housing on the bars, the answer is no. I just putt RSD apes on mine and you just have to pull really hard to get them out.

Aren't they C-clipped in? Maybe I'm just not remembering right. I'm just trying to replace the whole throttle assembly and don't want to spend the 70$ on a new one from Joker Machine. (Only one I found that says it's for the newer models).

Thanks, that seems kinda ghetto/shady but whatever. Do you know where I can actually get a throttle assembly to replace the stock one? I'm looking for something really simple, just the throttle assembly.
