Venhill is the place to go.

I just used one of their generic kits.

Hi just bought a WK trike with 1300 engine, throttle cable was really stiff. I have replaced the cable but it's still not right has anyone got any clue as to which replacement throttle grip complete assembly I would need? Thanks D.

There isn't much to go wrong with a twist grip! If the grip internals are clean with a minimal amount of grease / oil present, the barrel rotates easily in the housing and on the bar end - there is nothing else to do to make them better. If you have a stiff cable or heavy pull, its more likely to be pinched or binding somewhere due to bad routing!

Sometimes it just needs the grip to be pulled off the bar by 1mm to make it free turning.
