DIY dual action foot throttle

**Martin_80** · 11-28-2019, 03:40 AM

Sjöberg racing foot throttle are pretty common and popular here in Sweden. I don't now what is going on in this case but I think he makes them in batches and sometimes he has to wait in line for different manufacturing processes.

Everyone seems to like them so perhaps it's worth the wait.

Maybe that would be a better set up, going to give it some thoughts.

Thanks for your input.

I Just leave both cables run into the cowl. Pretty quick and easy to pop the cover and switch from hand to foot throttle...

Don't really know what happened with him, he said it is read, been waiting almost 3 weeks now, he even said it was ready. As of today he hasn't even sent an invoice, i sent him a message a few days ago and it looks like he is ignoring as he doesn't reply. It sucks as I really wanted his product. Don't understand why go through all the answering question to say he was fabricating and painting the pedal and even shipping it for nothing, if he isn't going to sell them he should just said from the beginning, it really frustrating.

He is oldschool, have you tried to call him? I've spoken to him once and he was extremely helpful.

He speaks English?

I don't know but if he is in his shop some one else most likely can. Worth a try.

I follow his site on facebook and Im pretty sure he has mentioned that he has sold these to the US.

It looks like he has, he knew from the beginning that I live in the US, he asked for my address. Can't really understand why he doesn't answer. I've been very polite all the time and o really want the pedal.

Just decided to give him a call as you suggested, he does speaks English and very well, SUPER, SUPER NICE GUY for sure, very down to earth guy. We were able to works things out, it was a confusion about the payment. I'm very exited and looking forward to try his pedal. Thank for suggesting that as I didn't eve thought about it.
