One of the guys here has a dual gasser on his Raptor and they look the ducks nuts. Sitting down on the flat stuff, the twist throttle feels very comfortable but I found that I was reaching for the thumb throttle through the tight stuff and when I standing up over rough terrain. I don't think that it would take too long to get used to though. He purchased his from the U.S but I believe JMC and some of the other local guys have them as well, not sure what price though. Check out the reviews section as beachbum has just posted on this very subject.

Had a dual gasser for about 3 months.
Great quality & worked exceptionally well. I personally could not get used to the twist throttle on a quad though. Near got me into trouble a couple of times. Don't hang off the bars when you're sideways 
As for using it to rest your thumb on trail rides, best invention I've seen.

Yeah, I can relate to hangin off in corners and pullin the gas on even more...  ..
Each to their own and in straight out stuff the twist was good..

I got to try one on the simpson crossing last year, didn't much like the thumb part of it but I'm not a big fan of thumb throttles anyway, the thumb lever needs an extention on it to reach out where the the grip is when there is a twist mechanism in between.

|
|
My partner runs a Dual Gasser on her KFX 700 its a good product but JMC'S version is better as it runs an alloy throttle tube where the gasser runs a plastic one. After a while the throttle locking pin elongates a bigger hole in the plastic throttle tube making it sloppy when locking it off. JMC's is about $50 cheaper to. In my oppinion the thumb throttle part works fine its better then any Yamaha thumb throttle I have used.
