 | Left hand throttles Just wondering who has em, what kind, and pro's n cons. Went sleddin out in Golden last weekend (Silent Hill), was awesome, going out alot of right side-hillin, but comin back at the end of the day left side-hillin almost killed me (wore out from the day and whatnot), so I bought a Gold Finger. Some say they can be dangerous (I can kinda see this), but was just lookin to see what the majority say. What say you? |

| Re: Left hand throttles I have had them, they work well. I was a little spazzy when I first put in on, but the more you use it the better you get. I was ripping around in the yard and was getting a little overzelous and almost went through the garage cuz I grabed the wrong handle to stop!!!!

 | Re: Left hand throttles Ive had other ones and went to the trusty Goldfinger and I think I'll keep that one it seems the safest.

| Re: Left hand throttles I had a goldfinger on my Apex. Its a "large boned" machine so it was nice. I don't feel like I need one on my xp though it seems to be nimble enough. Most accidents happen right after installation. People arn't used to using them, but they doo work well.

| Re: Left hand throttles I have a Lefty, I have used it a couple of times, have had it over a year, usually just on a nasty side hill. I have heard rumors of them freezing and stuck WFO. Never had the issue of grabbing it rather than my break.

| Re: Left hand throttles I have a goldfinger, it's nice to have when you need it, I have had it stick on me so I've learned to check it's operation before i leave the truck.
