Tom, I honestly don't remember but I was under the impression they were rare. Maybe ebay. I sort of recall paying around $15.00. They are the same length as stock but considerably easier to collapse. I have not started this bike yet (still a ways to go) but they open and close the slides quite well. Ray

Where did you get the throttle springs?

Thanks to all who replied on the throttle question. Don't you love it when the real world evidence seems to lead you down the path you wanted to go on? Ahhh... I found a set of light weight throttle springs that I'll try, also. All that combined with the RAM clutch might be the ticket. Ray pax sine tedio 73 Eldo "19"

another thing about the splitter - clean it extra well, and lube with white lithium - it can really hang up and stop your slides from snapping
all the way down. but once it's done it stays pretty clean..

Hi Ray, I chose a Super Practic over the Tomaselli for my project and have been using the original on the '69. Bought a couple of NOS ones when I had the chance, I too admire the design. Most use the Tomaselli to ease the throttle effort - if the throttle, cables and splitter are all lubed well with the Super Practic, the effort is nearly the same (from my experimentation anyway). The Tomaselli is a slightly "quicker" throttle though, requiring less twist for more go. I just don't care to have two throttle cables - would seem to me the shorter cables from the splitter to the carbs would leave less room for stretch and incorrect synchronization. Just my $.02 worth.

Hi, I have a beautiful Super Practica B throttle for the Eldo. Excellent condition. It is as amazing a piece of art deco mechanism as the gas cap. I would really like to use it. I've seen and read so many indications that the Tomaselli's a better throttle that I'm wondering...do some of you run the Super Practica with success? I'm not unfamiliar or afraid of the adjustments involved. Just wondering. Ray pax sine tedio 73 Eldo "19"
