Viper aftermarket replacement throttle thumb lever ????

[16XTXLE]

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket throttle lever available?
My wife finds the distance from the thumb lever to the bar too far and has to use her palm between index finger and thumb on long rides as it starts to hurt her thumb
Anyone have any ideas?

For $35 shipped I used the Throttle Gizmo on a 2005 Vector for my wife and kids. Allows the rider to rest their thumb periodically by relocating it to a lever closer to the bars.

We offer a plug and play adaptor that allow the use of smaller more comfortable Yamaha lever from a Japan made sled. It also increases the heat output of lever. Info on website. "Japan" throttle.

"Japan" Throttle Lever Conversion

Fits all SR Viper Models

Yamaha has used the same throttle lever on all 4 stroke sleds coming from Japan since 03. When we started putting some miles on our viper last season, the feel of the Viper throttle lever felt awkward and clumsy. Sure you could get used to it after a few hours, but jump back on an apex, vector nytro etc and you are quickly reminded how much nicer the Japan lever feels. We have developed a kit which allows for the install of a "Japan" throttle lever on any SR Viper.
The mechanical aspect of the conversion was easily handled by us here at BOP. The lever will come with hardware needed to be a direct install on the SR Viper throttle block housing. The electrical aspect of the conversion was beyond our expertise so we teamed up with the creator of the "Yamaheater" handwarmer plug and play kits which boost handwarmer heat. Rock is an electrical engineer and avid snowmobiler so it was a no brainer to work with him on this product. The input leads of the adapter plug directly incorporated more heat output on the high setting with this adapter beings Rock has had complaints of the thumb warmer not getting warm enough.
Sell Price for complete kit is $110
We will sell the plug and play adapter alone for $60 if you happen to have a throttle laying around. For plug and play the throttle must be the short lead style found on RX-1, 05-07 Vector, 05-07 Rage etc. The apex, phazer, nytro, and newer vectors have a longer lead with different style plug.




Side by side comparison. Lever on right is the stock Viper lever.
Plug and play adapter installed. Factory Viper plug from harness gets relocated
outside the housing. Adapter box gets zip tied to the wire loom.
