Which HRC throttle did you use Scott, was it a cbr? I suppose it's a good thing to help tune the road skills and keep a bit of distance in slow moving traffic.

Yes the 1/6 turn throttle really works well with the storm linear engine characteristics, one of the best mods for the ££ you can do.

I think I will go with the HRC, I was a bit dubious over the 1/6 and was toying with something not so extreme, but I have only ever heard good things about it. :thumbup:

Go for it mate you won't regret it! It's honestly not as extreme as you Imagine in town riding. :-)

You can get the tube on its own mate from David silvers. Or if you don't want to wait ultra long delivery times there's a guy on eBay that delivered mine the next day, but is a few quid more than silvers.

That ought to do it then ha :D

How does taking off the return cable give you more sack? Cant get my head round it?

Also does it make it free-er on full lock in order to help letting the throttle stick slightly? :)

Without the return cable you can adjust the pull cable so the throttle tube hits the stop .
I will take pics when I change it over to show you
And a vid :-)
