Just use your stock throttle and one cable. The pull is shorter so you will have to either make an extender or cut the end and re-solder.
Or you can get a 7/8 universal single throttle and cable,all kinds of ways to get there.

You need a throttle grip and switch assembly from a 1996-1998 bike and S&S throttle cables for that application. These are getting hard to find, but still pop up on Ebay. They have all yellow switches.

With the right parts, this is an easy conversion.

if you need some more help email me at baileyj76@hotmail.com
