Hey great to hear you got the kid riding. I also only have my left arm to ride with (right one gone below shoulder). I ride a Honda 300ex with a twist throttle along with the clutch on the same hand. It's really confusing to everyone that tries and rides it, but after a real short while it came all to natural to me. I hope the boy keeps on riding and everything will all seem normal to him like it does for me.

What about using a clutch lever?Could you figure out how to hook the throttle cable up to one.I guess you would have to ride a bike with an auto clutch and a foot brake.Remember the old Honda odyssey? It had small levers for the gas and brake.Maybe use one of those levers,mounted on the left side.

I only live about 5 miles from "Terry cable" in hesperia ,Ca.I'll call them tomorrow and ask them if they have any ideas.
