Domino controls (comandi) are made in Italy since the 1950’s. Domino controls are found on most Italian mopeds, such as Arciero, Aspes, Baretta/Piccoli, Beta, Bianchi, Cimatti, Concord/Fantic, Demm, Gadabout, Garelli, Malaguti, Motobecane Sebring, Motomarina, Motron, Negrini, Pacer/Italtelai, Snark, late 80’s Tomos, and Vespa/Piaggio. Other Italian mopeds had PV, OSL, or Ci.Ti controls. Domino has made, and still does make, many other high quality motorcycle controls.  

MMI Part Numbers: In the 1980’s the biggest USA moped part importer/distributor Marina Mobili Inc assigned Domino part numbers that began with “D”. The “D” parts were for sale to the public through all moped dealers. Domino also made controls specifically for Vespa and Garelli. Those parts were only sold through Vespa or Garelli dealers. They never did have a MMI part number. Myrons Mopeds made up the “V” and “G” part number prefixes to agree and mesh with the corresponding “D” prefix items and labels. For example the Vespa version of Domino left control “DB0” is “VB0”, and the Garelli version is “GB0”.

Brake light switch holes: Many non-US models do not have brake lights. So their Domino housings don’t have threaded holes for brake light switches. Their Domino “70’s chrome” levers do not come with the inner push plate that pushes the button on the brake light switch. Their lever blades do not have the extra little hole punched in them to anchor the inner push plate. Here all of the housings and levers are for US-models with a brake light, unless noted.

Prices: Like with elsewhere in this website, a bright green price color means the item is new. A dark green price color means the item is used. Used items are in good or usable condition unless stated otherwise.

1. Domino “70’s chrome”

Controls in this “70’s chrome” family all have cable holes that are threadless with bottoms. “70’s chrome” means the brake levers appear to be chrome. The 60’s ones are chrome-plated steel, but the 70’s levers are actually polished stainless steel, like silverware. They are stamped (formed) from sheet metal.

Wrap-around type throttle: Some 1970’s Domino right controls for mopeds have the wrap-around type throttle. The “double-ended” throttle cable inner wire has a soldered-on end piece that attaches to the twist tube. The cable wire wraps around the twist tube. The throttle cable exits perpendicular to the handlebar.

Sliding-block type throttle: Most 1970’s Domino right controls for mopeds are the sliding-block type. The “universal” or “single-ended” throttle cable inner wire has no upper end piece. It attaches to sliding block with a small pinch screw. The twist tube (barrel) has a spiral slot that moves the sliding block sideways when the tube is rotated. The throttle cable exits parallel to the handlebar.

These throttles need occasional lubrication (oil or grease), or they become sticky and eventually wear out. Because the twist tube is steel and the sliding block is aluminum, it’s the sliding block that wears out the most. Even with lubrication, a worn sliding block causes the throttle to stick, where it does not snap back when you let go. After 1978, they had a helper spring on the twist tube. This made them not stick as much, or not at all.

DB0  $50-35  L control assy, plain,    silver, “70’s chrome” rear brake and starting clutch

2. Domino “70’s chrome” (sliding block) DB0, DA0:
In the early 70’s US mopeds had Domino “1970’s chrome” levers. The lever blades are chrome, stamped from sheet metal. The cast aluminum housings are painted silver. The DB0, DA0 controls had ribbed grips up to the late 1970’s. After about 1977 the same controls had waffle grips and were called DB1, DA1. 

 

 

 

Domino “70’s chrome” (wrap-around) DB0, DW0:
From 1976-1978 some US mopeds had Domino “1970’s chrome” levers (1976-77 Cimatti City Bike, 1977-78 Rizzato Califfo, others). The lever blades are chrome, stamped from sheet metal. The cast aluminum housings are painted silver in the 1970’s. The left side control is the same, but the right side has a different type of throttle. This “wrap-around” type of throttle winds the end of the cable around part of the twist tube. There is no sliding block, and much less tendency to stick. But wrap-around throttles require a solder end piece on the cable. That makes the throttle cable not universal, since the inner wire exposed length is pre-set by the lead barrel end at the handlebar. That is in addition to the smaller in-line barrel end at the carburetor, making it a “two-ended” or “double-ended” throttle cable. Most modern motorcycles have double ended cables, while bicycles always have single ended. Mopeds can have either or both motorcycle style 2-end, and bicycle style 1-ended cables.

 

Domino “70’s chrome” (sliding block) DB1, DA1:
These controls are exactly the same as the previous ones, except for the grips. The Domino aftermarket controls have different grips or different housing colors than many of the Domino OEM controls. To get the exact style and color, you had to get the part through the moped maker’s parts distributor network, such as a local Garelli dealer. The Domino controls made to order for a particular maker have a part number that begins with the maker initial. V is Vespa and G is Garelli. The Domino aftermarket parts all begin with D. The Marina Mobili part numbers are used here, from the late 1980’s. They were the #1 moped parts importer/distributor in the United States at the time. 

 

Domino “70’s chrome” (sliding block) DB2, DA2:
From 1978-1984 some US mopeds had Domino “1970’s chrome” levers. The lever blades are chrome, stamped from sheet metal. The cast aluminum housings are painted black. All of these black throttles worked better thanks to the silver-dollar-sized throttle assist spring. The 1978-on housing was longer, and the metal twist tube had more “inner” length. Plus it had a flange with a spring anchor hole. You can see the extra 1/4 inch of length in the housing, just to the left of the hand grip, and just to the right of the twist tube securing screw. That is where the three-loop throttle assist spring goes. All subsequent Domino sliding block throttles had the throttle return assist spring.

 

 

Domino “diamond chrome” (sliding block) DB3, DA3:
From 1978-85 some US mopeds had Domino chrome levers with a diamond shaped mount for an integrated CEV switch. Everything was the same except the black housings had molded in switch mounts. 

DA, DA0, DA1, DA2 and DA3 throttles all have a threadless bottomed throttle cable hole.

 

 

 

Domino “70’s chrome” (sliding block) DB4B, DA4B:
These Domino DA3 and DB3 controls are identical to the previous DA2 and DB2 ones, except for the grip style. This and all subsequent Domino sliding block throttles had the throttle return assist spring. These DB4B and DA4B controls do not have M6 threads for adjusters on the brakes, nor the starting clutch cable. The DA4B right control does have M5 throttle cable adjuster threads.

2. Domino “70’s Vespa” 

Controls in this “70’s Vespa” family all have threadless-bottomed start and throttle cable holes, and threaded-bottomless brake cable holes. The right control (throttle and front brake) is a sliding block type, where the twist tube (barrel) has a spiral slot that moves a sliding block back and forth. The sliding block also contains a pinch bolt to attach the cable wire. So the throttle inner cable is a single-ended type that can slide out and be replaced separately. The left control has a “one finger” decompression lever instead of a “three finger” start lever, like most other left controls have. It does not need to be squeezed hard like the clutch start levers do. The engine starts when the decomp lever is released.

The list is in order of age, oldest first. Prices are bright green for new, dark green for used.
Control assemblies do not include hand grips or electrical switches, unless stated otherwise.

1. Vespa 70’s chrome left Vb and right Va:
These are on the earliest Ciao’s 1968-71. They have plain levers with no balls on the end, chrome plated steel not stainless steel. The housings do not have threaded holes for brake light switches. The right control housing does not have a lower mount for a engine stop “kill” button or a throttle assist spring. The engine was stopped by pulling the decomp lever on the left control. The grips were gray 114220 right, 114221 left, except on the Ciao Lusso and later models they were black 122184 right, 122185 left.

5. Vespa “70’s chrome” left VB1g and right VK1g:
These have plain gray housings. The right control has no throttle helper spring. It has a kill switch mount on the bottom but there was no kill switch installed there. Instead the kill switch was a separate clamp-on type, CEV round chrome, like the left side switch.

6. Vespa “diamond chrome” left VBDg and right VADg:
Diamond shape integrated switches on both sides, reachable by thumbs. This was a safety requirement in some countries.

Starting with this 1977 Bravo with blinkers, and then on all 1978 and later models, the right controls had throttle helper springs. The twist tube changed from D6 to D6A. The main throttle return spring in the carburetor is strong enough by itself, except when the cable is sticky or kinked or the handlebar is rubbing on the twist tube.

7. Vespa “70’s chrome” left VB1g and right VA2g:
These have plain gray housings. The right control has a throttle helper spring, just left of the grip. Compared to VK1g above, there is visible about 6mm more length in both the housing and the twist tube, to make room for the 3-loop torsion spring. The right control housing has a kill switch mount on the bottom, but it was not used on US models. Instead the kill switch was a separate clamp-on type, CEV round chrome, like the left side switch.

Garelli “diamond chrome” (sliding block) GB3, GA3:
(not shown) These were the same but black.

The GA1 GA2 and GA3 had assist springs.  The grips were D21 and D22 “waffle” style. These were the first controls on mopeds with provisions for integrated switches. From 1977 to 79, Garelli made their own “Garelli oval chrome” switches. Those switches got broken easily when the knob was struck. After about 1981 Garelli mopeds had DA3M, DB3M black diamond controls with CEV “diamond” switches.

Domino “diamond long chrome” DB3M, DA3M:
From about 1980 to 1986 Garelli Basic mopeds, and some others, had long chrome levers with a diamond shaped mounts molded into the black housing for integrated CEV switches. Everything was the same as the DA3 and DB3 controls, except the start cable had a M6 threaded adjuster, the brake lever blades were longer, 155mm instead of 140 or 145, and the grips were longer, 120mm instead of 105 or 110. People with big hands would probably like these controls better.

4. Domino “early 1980’s”

Controls in this “early 80’s” family have all of the cable holes threaded without bottoms.

 

---

 

Domino “diamond chrome” (sliding-block) DB5, DA5:
This early 1980’s Domino DA5 black diamond right control is like a late 1970’s Domino DA3 black diamond right control, except for two things. The grip is a D21B “basketball texture”, not a D21R “ribbed”. Both the throttle and brake cables have threaded adjusters, M5 and M6. Since the early 1980’s, Domino has made all their moped controls with threads for cable adjusters, aka adjustable cable stops. This was the earliest Domino aftermarket control with threaded adjusters on all cables. The corresponding left DB5 control would have M6 adjusters on the brake and start cables, to match. No photo is available.

5. Domino “70’s and 80’s chrome” shared parts

Here are nine left housings, each with different colors, styles, and cable hole styles. They look the same from a distance. The presence or absence of threads in the cable holes, can make the left and right sides look the same, or be mismatched at the cable ends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In most illustrated parts lists, the Domino D6 throttle barrel, aka twist tube, is shown as the only type. The illustrations were made years earlier when the D6A spring type did not exist. This has caused confusion that perpetuated into future parts pictures. For example, in the greyscale picture above, the D6 older twist tube is shown, when it should be a D6A with a flange. A D6 has nothing to hook the D23 assist spring onto.

6. Domino “1980’s black”

---

Domino “mid-80’s black” (sliding block): From about 1985-88 some mopeds had Domino “80’s black” controls. The lever blades are black plastic. The cast aluminum housings are black, and have a large space for integrated CEV switches. The D1 sliding block (throttle slide) and steel twist tube (throttle barrel) with flange for the helper spring, are the same as the earlier “70’s chrome”. The Domino grips are the smooth octagon style of the mid-1980’s. 

Garelli mopeds 1985-88 had DA7K, DB7K, “octagon” grips.
Tomos mopeds 1986-91 had DA7K, DB8K, “octagon” grips.
Trac mopeds 1985-1989 had DA7K, DB7K, “octagon” grips.
Vespa

 

Domino “late-80’s black” (sliding block): From about 1987-early 1990’s some mopeds had Domino “90’s black” controls. The lever blades are black plastic. The cast aluminum housings are black, and have a large space for integrated CEV switches. The twist tube (throttle barrel) is black plastic, for less friction. The D1L  sliding block is different than the previous Domino D1 sliding blocks. The Domino grips are the “texture” style of the early 1990’s.

Derbi mopeds 1987-89 had a DA8K right, and like a DB8K left but with a small decomp lever, and “texture” grips.

Here are the two different Domino sliding blocks, shown with two different views. At left is the 1970’s to mid-80’s Domino type, part number D1. At right is the late-80’s and 90’s Domino type, part number D1L. The older D1 kind is wider, and the “tongue” that slides in the spiral groove of the twist tube is narrower than the D1L kind. Currently the D1 is scarce at Myrons, and elsewhere. The D1L is available, but not many US mopeds had that. You can’t substitute a D1L for a D1, even grinding the tongue, because it is narrower, and will cock sideways and stick. When a sliding block throttle sticks, of course, you first put oil on it. When the “tongue” wears down, one side gets rubbed, and it gets thinner, causing the throttle to stick.
