I am curious though, why on earth would you want it longer??

I think he said something about old. Shouldn't you be looking at this too Blurr........ :-b

Fark off.


I take it you are coming to PI Or ECto show me around then you young pup.

Hehe be happy to show you around PI the only problem is you'll be going around slower than you usually do.....

When are you coming to broady???
Training day with Maxy this Friday there

Backyard cheapskate version, just use a small file and deepen the cable guide. Make sure it's smooth & doesn't snag the cable.

Or u could ride a gear higher, or go down 1 tooth on the rear sprocket

Thing is you have to keep a near perfectly constant radius which is just about impossible for backyard jobs, otherwise a consistent throttle twist doesn't equal a consistent throttle pull, which is a bit farkt.

agree that this would be difficult to do when filing a groove in a throttle guide....

but for backyard perfection as far as quick-action throttles are concerned - you can't beat 4th Dimension Products !!



(4mm wide section of the flanged end of some 20mm elctrical conduit, laser-cut with a hacksaw and accurate guesstimation. Works 100% and race-proven in the toughest tests )

I bought a set of Rizoma aluminium grips for my previous bike (R1) and that came with a few different options for the throttle cam size to suit different manufacturers, maybe measure yours and have a look at one of their sets?!?

Want to slow your throttle down?
Buy a throttle tube off a 70's Honda Cb750.
They are cheap and bolt right in. The cam diameter is smaller than stock Kawasaki.
