Hi Deldago,
I have converted all my CFMOTO thumb throttle Assemblies on X8's to Moose Utility combined Twist/Thumb Throttle assemblies.
Much more reliable, robust, easier to use and provides twist or thumb throttle.
I had to manufacture a bracket to attach the 4WD switch assembly to the Moose Utility combined Twist/Thumb Throttle, a bit of a challenge but it kept me occupied for a while.
