Hi, I’m looking for advice on a suitable replacement for my Verlicchi twin pull twist grip. (1976 Sport). I have managed to crack the bottom half aluminium casing. I suspect due to uneven tightening of the Allen screws.
I note that Tommaselli do a Daytona 2C twin pull twist grip for 22mm bars. Does anyone have experience of fitting one of these? Is it pretty much a direct swap?
Alternatively does any one know of a suitable spare half casing to keep things original?
Thanks

Just to clarify, it’s the half that does not have the cables going through that I need to replace. Cheers.
Re: Twist grip replacement
I think that the twistgrip that you mention is the same one that I fitted to my 1986 K2 (because I wanted a friction control). The throttle cables were a little too wide to fit and so I drilled out the channels in the twistgrip using a hand held power drill. Worked OK and am pleased with the twistgrip.

I've got one of these, it works fine and is much cheaper than the TOMMASSELLI ,

Re: Twist grip replacement
A useful link. I am fortunate to have a spare twistgrip. They cannot spell carburettor though.

Re: Twist grip replacement
I prefer the black finish on mine, and I suspect it is of a better quality, but they do cost a lot. One mentioned above appears to use separate cable stops and might therefore obviate the need for modification of the twistgrip itself.
Re: Twist grip replacement
I bought one similar to the one in the link to fit on my Strada (which had previously been fitted with a single pull unit with a splitter). Notwithstanding the fact that it is a solid, well chromed unit, it fits well and works well.
