Seems to be multiple ways of doing this, but im going to go for a Pot. Im looking to do the same as below in the quote.

Can i just double check that two of these are what I am looking for. Im guessing I do not use the middle leg on the pot?

Wiring the magura 0-5k throttle for use with the GNG stock controller.
for my application I installed two 10k 15 turn cermets in the " In and " out wires to fine turn the throttle, Its been noted that Maguras can come with the gears incorrectly clocked, mine was and had to be dissasembled and the pot gear advance one tooth, this ended up having the motor just " crawling" with the throttle in the off position and both cermets at zero resistance, I increased resistance in the Red wires cermet to eliminate the crawling and then went back and forth between the two cermets to find the optimal settings, the result is no dead space at the bottom end of the twist and just a slight amount at the top end, the throttle response is very controllable and almost all of the twist action is now having an effect. Wire color code is Black to black, Red to Blue and Brown to Green with the cermets in the Red to blue and black to black wires.

yup that will do it i think. u will use the middle (wiper) leg and one end leg. to create a variable series resistor.
 
Thanks for the info :)

The other, more popular route seems to be to use two resistors (thanks Lyen for the info :)) at least I have a choice.

1K resistor on the Magura Blue wire and a 3K resistor on the Magura black wire.

Just found these
