Throttle/Switch assy change out query

[RubyBones]

Evening all, 

 

me again with yet another likely stupid question but if you don’t ask you don’t get haha

 

Trying to swap out the throttle and grips on my Suzuki gz125. (It’s got these horrible cheesy iron cross plastic grips on it) 

 

removal all fine

 

Question 1. Are throttle tubes universal? And by this I mean yes of course size wise is fine I just need 7/8 tube, but Can I fit any standard 7/8 tube into the existing switch gear assy?

 

Picture 1. This is the existing one!
 

Picture 2. is what I’d like to replace it with (with or with out the grip) 

 

is the one in picture 2 compatible, as the ends that connect into the switch gear on some all like ever so slightly different 

 

Question 2. Was also thinking instead I might just remove from the switch assy and add into a standalone Throttle casing (like in picture 3) and would love to know it it would be compatible. (My throttle cable end has not screw in/ thread connection. Would this matter 

 

love any thoughts or advice. Thank you

I fitted Heated Handlebar grips to my GSX600 recently. The throtle grip side looked similar to what is in your photo. IT was justa straight swap.

There is a good chance a straight swap will work for you as well.

The only way to find out is give it a go.

If you do have to go down the swapping to the standalone throttle grip then consider if your bike has an engine kill switch.

On my bike I would not be able to use the standalone because it has an engine kill switch.

Cheers @iangaryprice appreciate the response
 

Good point, I had considered if the kills switch would be a caveat to swapping out to stand alone but was unsure, good to know.
 

I’ve just purchased a couple of new tubes to try and when one fits I’ll just add some nice new grips I think. Keep things nice and simple without messing with the switch gear clam
