Can anyone point me to a quick action throttle body that would work with the Minda control unit on a 65 500 iron Clubman?

If it's any help the E/S switchgear of that period seems to be a clone of the late 90's Suzuki stuff. There might be some after-market goodies there.

Using the throttle drum off a generic Q/A throttle might work if:

a) the larger cam physically fits inside the housing, and:

b) the cable still lines up OK, any sharp bends will make it harder to use and lose any advantage, as well as doing the throttle cable no good.

The alternative would involve a separate twist grip assembly and a re-think of the switch gear.

Good suggestions thanks Adrian

Another alternative would be to get the crankshaft lightened!

I know a gentleman in rural south Wales who does this sort of thing rather well.
