it allows for MUCH better throttle response.
the stock throttle, you need to turn it very far around to open the carbs fully.
with this r1 throttle, I only have to turn it about 3/4 of the way the stock did

vid is proccessing, but heres the link

pretty much, except for the that the body of the cable (rubber part) is longer and I had to put the end past the little holder thing on the carbs...Ill get pics when I can. I think im going to try and cut a section of the rubber part out so it will sit right on the mount.
I dont have the return cable hooked up either. I dont think its long enough.
I just really like the fact that I dont have to be double jointed to go from a closed throttle to a all the way open throttle without having to re-adjust my hand! lol

im gonna go and see what I can do with it.

cut the cable bodies down and now they fit great.
I screwed up on the return cable though. cut off 1 1/2" to much... I used a tube and two zip ties and now its good...
the only thing im afraid of with these cables, is that they are much thinner than the fzr ones...probably because they go to a FI bike...not sure.
im going to ride it tomorrow to a christmas party, so Ill let you know how it rides.
hoping to get my rear sprocket soon, because the teeth on mine are about to break off.
and I still need $110 for my new rear wheel.
hate being broke.
luckly...I got paid $40 bucks today :banana:
so thats going to help with getting my $50 r1 tail, $30 tank, $25 subframe, and gifts for the family! and the $60 shipping left to ship out millers stuff!
looks like im getting banned from ebay for having some unpaid items strikes banghead

I guess the difference in the throttle circumferience is what makes for a better throttle pull.
thanks to this, I am able to pull wheelies without even letting out of the throttle and slamming back on to use the forks as help.
I can just roll hard on the throttle and it lifts.

I might put my speaker setup in this tail...it seems to fit in the passenger port hole...but I kinda would like to carry passengers sometime...
with the speaker there, then I wouldnt be able too...
I hate decision making banghead

I over do it with pics....

Not a real big fan of speakers on bikes... not sure when I would use it. Put some mini lcd screens in the front so you can watch a movie while riding... ha!

well, I was excited to get my r1 tank in the mail today...

I got a package from fedex and I ripped open the box and got a little suprise...

oh yea...and it was not the tank...it was the r1 subframe..
they emailed me back about the tank and he said it wouldnt ship until friday or monday...


anyways...When I openned the box, I thought someone was playing a joke on me...
it looks like someone got some Jessica Simpson perfume for X-mas!
Image

just look at that pretty bow!
Image



well...now I have a box of someones x-mas trash...lol...




I just realized that I didnt take pics of the subframe... :tard:

ok...this is where I want the tail to be...
its not sticking out the back but I cant get the seat in there...I need my r1 tank to get here ...
Image
Image
give you an idea on how far im going to have to hope the r1 tank will be...lol
Image
Image

I used scrap aluminum from my brothers work (grille-tech) to make some mounts for the tail...
I cant get to crazy with the mounts until I get the tank and know exactly where the tail will sit.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image



now, if I want the seat to fit now, then I have to move the tail back pretty far
Image
looks like maybe 2 1/2" moved back
Image


and here is how im riding her now!
Image



I went overboard on the pics...I know bonkonhead



Its now 8:45a.m. and I havent gone to bed yet...so im gonna get on that now..
