I hope you will enjoy this video. It's a little longer than normal, but the job turned out to be much bigger than I expected. In this video, I'm converting the Rapide 2-into-1 throttle cable assembly to a dual throttle assembly with independent cables going to each carburetor.

I'll grease the throttle and lube the cable later once the cables have been tested with the bike running and the carbs have been synchronized. I will do a follow up to let you know how they work out!
