The Acerus single cable throttle assembly for the Honda Shadows is machined from billet aluminum and made to work seamlessly with the stock Honda Shadow throttle pull cable. That's right! You do not need to run a push cable! The stock throttle assembly is quite bulky and lacks any kind of visual aesthetic. Who are we kidding, it's totally haggard! Many folks wish to clean up their bikes' cockpit by removing the stock assembly, relocating their switches, (videos HERE) getting rid of the push cable,https://youtu.be/zXaumYHMutE and going to a single pull cable (videos HERE).
Specs:
The Acerus allows you to maintain a clean, focused, and custom look on your bars with no unnecessary fluff, but enough style to show you have superb taste. because you definitely do, you got-dang champion!
Fits the following models throttle cables -
Honda Rebel
Honda Shadow VLX600 / VT600
Honda Shadow VT750, ACE, Aero, Spirit, Phantom, RS
Honda Sabre
Honda Magna
Honda VT1100
Honda VTX
*May fit other metric bikes.
* Some models' stock throttle sleeves may not fit.
For a perfect fit, it is recommended to pair this with the Malleus Machined Gripset!
Do not over tighten clamp bolts. Use red Loctite on the bolts. Fits 1" bars, will accommodate most grips for 1-inch bars. When clamping the assembly on your bars, a small gap between the upper and lower halves is normal, this ensures that the clamp isn't bottomed out before it can adequately clamp the bars. This allows the clamp to work well on raw material bars or bars that have plating or powder coating. When installing on powder-coated bars, it may be necessary to use a mallet to tap the halves of the assembly together so the bolts can grab the threads. Powder coating isn't an exact science and the thickness can vary from brand to brand, there is no way to anticipate this and if we made the clamps ID bigger, it wouldn't fit chromed bars.
We advise using a bit of lubricant inside the throttle assembly and under the throttle sleeve for smooth twist action and prolonged life of the parts.
This is for the purchase of the throttle only. The video is for example purposes and shows other pieces which are not included

Motogadget m.button
Regular price $145.00Another innovation from motogadget: the m.button.
It's a big help - in combination with the new m.unit blue, basic, and m.unit v.2 - in reducing 'cable clutter' and simplifying wiring harnesses.
Integrated into the handlebar tube - or any other adequate location - this tiny cylinder will electrically connect all handlebar instruments, switches, and buttons.
Using state-of-the-art bus technology, the m.button digitally processes signals and transmits them to the m.unit over a thin cable.
The electrical consumers will then be switched inside the m.unit.
All control wires are moved into the handlebar. This saves space, weight, labour, and time. A 'must have' for custom bikes with clean-look handlebars.
In simple facts:
a) normally, the operating current (e.g. headlight or turn signals) is transmitted directly via the wiring of the handlebar switches. Due to the high currents, cables with large cross-sections have to be routed from the fuse box to the switch and back to the electrical consumer.
The result: big cable bundles. Definitely, a 'no go' for custom bikes with restricted space or a concealed electrical system.
b) using the m.unit without the m.button, just a thin cable for each switch- or button-controlled feature has to be routed to the m.unit. These cables only carry minute control currents. All high loads and currents are switched directly at the m.unit and transmitted directly to the electrical consumers. This already leads to a significant reduction and simplification of the wiring harness. Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram.
c) using the m.unit blue, basic, or m.unit v.2 in combination with the tiny m.button, you will once again reduce the number of cables that have to be routed! All switches/buttons on the handlebar are connected at the shortest distance possible and concealed inside the handlebar. Consequently, you will have to route only ONE thin cable from the m.button to the m.unit. All loads and currents will be switched directly at the m.unit (see explanations above). A layout reduced to the max! Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram with the use of m.button
The m.button is completely moulded in, making it water-tight and resistant to vibrations.
The m.button is equipped with connections for
- turn signal, left side
- turn signal, right side
- headlight (low beam and high beam)
- E-starter
- horn
- brake light switch, front brake
m.button – dimensions
Diameter: 12 mm
Length: 25 mm
Cable length: approx. 60 cm
Connecting cable to m.unit: approx. 200 cm
Weight: approx. 30 g
Attention: The only intended use of the m.button is in combination with m.unit blue or m.unit v.2
