So, when I crashed my handlebar (right side) bent. Also the grip got smashed. So, my tarded question is- what makes the throttle twist? Is it the grip, or is it a feature of the handlebar? Or is it something completely different that I'm going to have to replace?

Thanks in advance for not laughing at me, and for the responses i'm about to recieve.

all of it actuall there a plastic tube that slide over the bar with a lil clearance and the grip fit over the tube cable connect to the tube and when you twist it it goes vrooom if bar is bent its taking away the clearance and making the tube stick

It's actually a tube which goes over the handlebar (clip-on). Yoiu can buy it as an assembly:

It's #8 on the diagram.

Sorry I spaced out our meeting, Matt. We'll get together this week and check out your ride.
