After rereading this thread It has come to Jennifers attention that I was referring to Enduro racer.... ( **Blush... So embarrassed), However In my defense, It is the same cp.... And as for opting to not go to Radio shack and chop off some maybe fit, That doesn't make me rich or stupid... It makes me want to just make it right at any cost.

hi all. Those $4 pots from the local Chinese junk electronic store, ie radio shack, dick smith and jaycar are ok for home use but don't try to put them in a sited machine as they wear out 20 times faster than an original Japanese made stainless version due to the high use and dirty burger bar conditions.
Just my 2 cents :P

Not entirely the same.....but quite the same....yes....
I perform a lot of machine work to my Hang-On to get rid of the bearing-play......I make a new flansh for the steering shaft to fit 4 big ball bearings to the shaft.
Also the the two bolts that are connected to the springs that center the handlebars get needle bearings :)

It will be home use for the rest of that machines life....but I still would go with a high quality pot...but where to get them?
Le Chuck:
Even the cheap ones are still rated at like a quarter million revolutions so...
Go to digikey: http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?pv1=611&pv24=2&pv545=176&FV=fff40004%2Cfff80335&k=potentiometer&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25
Use the drop downs to select the exact style of pot you need (shaft type, size, terminals, resistance track material etc) and get a ton of cheap durable options and a few expensive ones so you can feel like you're doing something worth while.
