Alrighty! I figured out the resolution to the R6 controls and the throttle cable being too long. I am using 2007 R6 controls which have a seperate throttle tube from the switch box. Somehow(luckily) I lokst the throttle cables from my R6 assy. No big deal, the whole shebang cost me $10 on ebay. With the 07 as with earlier R6 controls, the cables are too long. Earlier R6 setups can be adapted to use the FZR cables, but the newer ones cannot. Since I needed to order new cables anyway, I went to my old friend ebay and bought a YZF600 throttle assembly for $15. It uses the same type of setup as the newer R6 in that the throttle assy is seperate from the switch assy. It also should not have the cast in metal pin to seat the assy on the bar and the cables will be a more appropriate length for the FZR. I just ordered the parts and they should be here hopefully next week and I will take some pics and document it properly. So for $25+shipping, about an hour with a soldering iron and shrink tube(Thanks Thatkid! Your Wiki writeup was very helpful!!!) you too can have modern switches with appropriate length cables with little to no other mods necessary. Plus I personally like the slimmer look of the switchbox without the throttle built in.
