Has anyone used their stock push pull throttle assembly with Mikuni Radial Flatside Carburetors?

Any opinions on their performance?

The stock assembly for my Z1 seems to work fine. The throttle effort was pretty significant at first. Cleaning/lubing cables is important. Also, those Mikunis let you fool with the throttle return spring setting, unwind it to a different attachment point(dang near everything on these are adjustable -- great designs). This was really important for comfort on the street. For example: My throttle grip came unglued due to the twisting force required, never mind the wrist cramps.

Hey Elseed, I am considering a switch to flat slides from my 33 smooth bores. What do you think?
Thanks
