a quite "different" idea

Would it be possible to make a pedal throttle in the DB? i dont think it would be that hard to do, just measuring and cutting and welding....

go ahead and criticize me for my ideas if you want to, i just like my things to stand out from the crowd.

and i know that it kind of defeats the purpose of motorcycles from cars but its good to try new things

The problem I would see with that is there is no way to push yourself off the seat without the throttle being wide open

its very possible but not very practical. if your just riding on pavement it will probrobly be alright but if your bouncing around offroad your not going to like it

Its possible but with your track record of hitting your head (read your post) you may want to stick to the normal way of doing things for a while.

Yes, that would be different alright. Like jeep says, might be OK for street cruisin' but what if you want to put your foot out for balance or something? You'll be letting off the throttle. Let us know how it turns out if you do it.

Yeah just clamp a bike brake handle on the frame in front of the foot peg and use the cable for your throttle...

Thanks for the tip! how exactly are your break handles on the pegs though?
