PARTS LIST ( in addition to the main GOLDFINGER kit)
A. Sticker template (1)
B E-clip retainer (1)
C. Stainless-steel pivot pin (1)
D. Stainless-steel washer (1)
A) Remove the OEM throttle flipper.
1) With engine off, engage the right side throttle flipper and remove the throttle cable going to the carburetor.
2) Using the large allen wrench found in your GOLDFINGER kit, loosen the allen screw fastening OEM throttle block to the handlebars (see photo A).
3) Using a flat tool such as a screwdriver first depress the tiny release tab (marked by the arrow in photo B), then remove the rectangular backing piece
of the OEM throttle block by sliding it out from right to left.
4) Carefully remove the OEM throttle block from the handlebar. It should snap off easily.
5) Remove the OEM throttle flipper from the throttle block. This is done by first rotating the throttle flipper 180 degrees from idle position (see photo C),
then carefully prying the plastic pins molded to the OEM throttle flipper arms out of the pivot holes in the throttle block housing.
6) Detach the thumb warmer wire from the plug harness on the handlebar. The throttle flipper should now be completely free from the throttle housing.
Loosen allen screw! Remove backing piece ! Rotate flipper 180 degrees
B) Remove pivot pin, drill hole and carve notch into original flipper. (Caution: the OEM throttle flippers are rather expensive
to replace so please proceed with caution. Full Throttle, Inc. WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for any improper modifications performed to your
throttle flipper.)
1) There are peg-shaped pivot pins protruding from the inside faces of the top and bottom arms of the throttle flipper. These are the pivot points for
the throttle flipper. You will need to remove the BOTTOM PIVOT PIN ONLY by sanding or filing it off (a Dremel rotary tool works nicely). Be sure to
remove the BOTTOM PIVOT PIN ONLY, leaving the washer-shaped plastic protrusion at the base of the pin intact (see white arrow on photo D).
2) Remove backing from the white sticker template, and place it on the bottom face of the bottom flipper arm. Make sure the edges are aligned
exactly (see photo E) Be sure to line up the template accurately. Use the thumb warmer wire hole and the edges of the flipper arms as a guide.
3) Using a 1/8 inch drill bit, carefully drill a preliminary guide hole in the flipper. Be sure to center the guide hole PRECISELY on the bulls-eye
printed on the template.
4.) Drill through the 1/8 inch guide hole using a 9/32 inch drill bit. Make sure that the hole is NOT drilled at an angle. If necessary, smooth the edges
around the new hole with fine sandpaper.
5.) Finally, you’ll need to make a small notch in the OEM throttle flipper in order to create clearance for the tab on the GOLDFINGER stainless steel
adapter plate (see photo F). Using a file, a sharp knife, or a Dremel remove the small amount of plastic exposed on the side of the arm (this area
you need to remove is labeled on the template), then remove the template. Make sure the notch is smooth, with no ragged edges.
