That's the kit - available from most bike shops, Venhill put their own sticker on the front and double the price.
If you want a cheap/quick throttle cable replacement then buy a bicycle brake cable with a pear nipple on the end (racing bike rather than MTB). Cut off then fat bit of the pear leaving the narrow part and this fits the throttle slide nicely. Also get a 6mm solderless nipple (eBay).
If the cabke breaks then you can fit this by threading through the old outer from the carb end and put the solderless nipple in the twistgrip end.
Works for the old slide throttles too as these are a pain in the bum to swap at the roadside with a complete replacement cable.
If your worried about solderless nipples - don't be; they can be the devils own job to remove afterwards. Aermachi 350's had them as std on the front brake
