RadRover / Throttle control RR6+.
September 03, 2023, 01:33:59 PM
Hello,
I recently added the popular handle bar extension to my RR6+. I was very careful to not put any stress on the handlebar wires and cables. But shortly after the installation, my RR throttle is now acting like the wire(s) inside the throttle itself don't have secured connections.

Specifically, about 50% of the time, everything works fine. The other 50%-ish the throttle does not work. The big clue is that if I gently push the wire towards the rear of the bike (near where the wire enters the throttle), then the throttle kicks in and works fine.

Is it possible to dis-assemble tth throttle and inspect the wires and their connections? Or is it a one-piece unit?

Thank you for any advise or tips.
Paul

Rad Modifications / Radrover 6 Plus and Ibera Rack
December 24, 2022, 06:56:10 AM
Hello, purchased an Ibera Bike rack for RR6+. Learned that Ibera makes an extension rod (IBERA 11" Longer Rods One Pair for IB-RA4/RA5 Carrier Rack). Purchased both on Amazon. After some trial and error, I was able to get a nice install (away from the seat, close to the fender, and level)!

I put a 2 inch piece of hardwood dowel (painted it black) in the hollow tubing to create structure w/i the tube, drilled thru (middle hole) the dowel and back side of aluminum tubing on the post, and mounted the rack. While am not using the Ibera steel mounting posts, one could cut them to size and use them in place of the dowel (to create structure w/i the hollow tube). Also, I did not use the plastic spacer.   One tip is to leave all the screws loose while installing the rack. Once you have all the screws seeded, then tighten things up.

Happy with the result and wanted to share. (3 pictures)
