Hiya,
The last quad I had had a twist throttle on it, which I loved. Now that I have a Raptor, I would like to fit one on it also. Anyone know of any kits out there that will fit the Raptor?

Calvin, they are available from Motion Pro now! Just ordered mine today. You need to call them direct, as no dealers have them yet.

I have never used a twist throttle always thumb. What are the advantages with the twist over thumb throttles. For instance is thumb for woods and twist wide open mx type of riding?

I used to ride motorcycles exclusively, and I just got used to the twist throttle. Some people complain about the twist with ATVs, saying they cause you to bump the throttle over rough stuff, but I have that problem with the thumb throttle. All personal preference, I guess.
The twist just feels more natural to me.
