Throttle Assembly Upgrade?

[jerryz]

Replaced my OE carbs on my cb350 with Mikuni and switched out my throttle assembly with the Polished Aluminum Single/Dual Throttle Assembly that is available at DCC (got mine at ebay). Thinking about switching to the metal sleeve throttle assembly because I'm not impressed with the plastic inner-workings of the one I got. Anybody using the metal-sleeve style? Any feedback on whether it's worth the switch? Here's a link to the one I am thinking of going with:

Seems to be mostly bling to me. Nothing wrong with bling, but plastic ones work as well. They don't rust or rattle either.

Unless you are having a specific issue with the plastic, I wouldn't change...

Thanks, and I agree with the sleeve part being just fine. What I don't like about the particular throttle assembly that I have is the way the cable threads through it. Seems clunky. Did some minor shaving of the plastic that was rubbing and it works much better. Still wondering if there is a throttle assembly that has metal inners...minus the sleeve. Think I'm over it now
