Problem with these Jeff is the issue if more than likely hidden inside the sheathing. My oem slides back and forth perfectly while in my hand, but the throttle has "stuck" twice in the past 2 weeks. Did it last year too.
Steve,
There is an original on ebay for $65 but no dimension of overall length mentioned. It looks legit and in pretty good shape just needs a spit shine. If you can return that damn repop like Dana suggested you will be $35 bucks ahead.
