Just a point to note when using one from 748 or SS ie when on full throttle you are using the cam stop at the carbs. So if you are really Gorilla armed, you could snap a throttle cable.

I never had a problem, but I'm just a weee weak girlie type.

Hmmm that could have been my problem. I fited a quick action on the B bike and had the cable snap on me twice in about 6 months. Both out of a corner into a straight where you snap the throttle open to full.

I fitted 748/916 throttles to both Matt's and Bionicle's 583's, I had cables made by Carrot Cycles in Lincoln http://www.carrotcycles.co.uk/ to suit for length and fit the correct nipples( ) fitted, never had a cable snap, Bionicles bike will start it's 3rd year on the same cable.
Never skimp on the important bits, get them made right.
