Throttle and choke linkages

What throttle and choke cables or linkage setup have you all done on the dual carb rotax? Any setups that work well with the Sonex throttle quadrants?

I used McFarlane dual throttle and choke cables to avoid the splitter boxes. Pricey but nice. There are the cables I ordered for the Onex. They do come in different lengths, and you can easily cut them shorter. You can also buy them direct from McFarlane, and there are throttles with and without the vernier function that I never seem to use.

Phew! for those sort of prices I might be worth checking out your local motorbike stores for Siamese cables.

Agreed. Throttle and choke cables to suit any old R series BMW boxer twin could be used. I rebuilt my old BMW 5 years ago and for parts in in Australia, Motorworks in Britain would work always out cheaper than buying in Aus. This was pre GST being added to international parcels, so things might have changed.
