Default Switching Throttle To Left Side

Well, its been abouy six months now since i had the stroke. I hit therapy really hard right away but now there hasnt been any changes for about a month. The insurancr company stops paying if you dont improve constantly. Now im doing exercises at home. But any way, I sold my prairie 700 about 3 weeks ago. I miss it bad. Now this new bomb 800! I want it. I called my dealer and he found a place thats making throttle on the left side. But the bomb 800 will be about 6 to 8 weeks. The way I understood it,its a thumb throttle that connects to the handle bar on the left side and somthing runs to the existing throttle on the right so when when my hand and arm get better I can start using the right side again.The problem is I have to order it soon so I can get that 5yr warranty. I guess I wiil be making payments on a dead horse in my garage for a while. I really appriciate you guys helping me thru this time and trying to get me riding again thanks

the left hand throttle your dealer is talkin about sounds like the kit for a snowmobile for the mountain riders, i'll fine a link sometime for you, and i think the throttle off of a 440 race sled would look and work reversed

no prob jsepp, my only other idea was to use a from a throttlemxzx440, except have it upside down, total cost of parts on fiche is $133.31, or cheaper if you get you own bolts, washers and circlips, plus this option i think would look and work better
