Has anybody bought or had a good look at the remade italian gp headsets that are available some previous owner of mine saw fit to grind away the throttle stop & its got a gear change wheel with a bolt in acting as a stop although it works ok I'm not keen I went to put a proper throttle wheel on & that's when I discovered it any suggestins maybe ally welding to build up a new one or are the remade headsets the way to go ?

if alls a good(and i mean a really good) fit then it is worth the cost to weld

yeah, im doing a cheap run about gp at the mo and i want an Italian headset bottom, if anyone has bought a remade one i'd like a test report as well.

I've used this set up for years and wouldnt rush to change back. Because the gearwheel is larger its like a quick action throttle so I can use my Mikuni without having 2 goes at turning the grip. I locate mine with the usual pin, which stops against a small metal tab bolted where the throttle rod bush locates.

Thanks for all the advice especially from Mag like I said it does work but it could do with a bit of a tidy up out of interest is it better to use plastic or a metal gearwheel or does it not make a difference either way thanks again.
