A popular mod on the R6 is to install a throttle tube from an R1 to reduce the amount of throttle twist to WOT. This allows you to go from closed throttle to full throttle without having to readjust your hand or twist your elbow down to your knee. The stock R6 tube takes around 90 degrees rotation to WOT. The R1 tube takes only around 60 degrees rotation - this may not sound like much but it makes a BIG difference.
I have searched and can't find anything about this here, but I believe their MUST be a Honda throttle tube out there for something (xx, VFR, CBR, etc....) that will accomplish this on the ST. It is just a matter of finding it. I am going to try and figure this out as it would come in very handy when cutting out to pass a car or other times when you'd like to get full throttle without the risk of readjusting your hand in the process.
So....does anyone have an extra ST1100 throttle tube laying around? It can even be off a crashed bike, so long as the end the cables attach to is still in good shape.
