    Default How do I convert the throttle to left handlebar?

    I am in the process of purchasing a new RTS SE5.

    I lost my right arm in an accident over 20 years ago so I need to switch the throttle to the left handlebar.

    I have a Harley Davidson Fatboy and the conversion was very straight forward.

    I understand the RT has an electronic throttle so it is different to a cable.

    Does anyone know how to convert it?

    Ive heard of a number of different ways to do this. The most straightfoward one was just moving the throttle assembly over to the left bar, whch means you would have to roll it forward to accelerate.
    Others have used thumb throttles from ATV or snowmobile applications.

    Might wanna ask over on the enabled riders sectioon of this forum too.

    Something to consider; there was an RS at Spyder fest with a foot throttle.

    Thanks. It is because the throttle is electronic that is causing the problems. It seems you have to move all the switchgear with it so that will stick out on the left side of the throttle.
