So, my girlfriend got me a set of the 7/8 inch outer diameter throttlemeisters for christmas (part FH & ASDB2-H). WOHOOO!! However, I can not install them because of the bar inside diameter decreasing. I have read that people have installed them by drilling out the bars... My question is just to make sure I got the right model, and ask how it would be best to drill out the bars. What tools/method would you all suggest? | ||

I called Throttlemiester and ordered mine directly for my 1125R and the ones they sent me went right on.I even got them adjusted on the second try.I would call them,They were very helpful to me.HTH | ||

Nm - he's got a CR, not an R. Our "R" bars are a constant ID, CRs aren't. Dunno John, I've heard the same about drilling, no details tho. Don't know what they look like, but would it work to turn the insert on a lathe? Z | ||

I just used an electric hand drill with a NEW drillbit. Worked fine, just take your time | ||

I turned mine on a lathe to get them to fit the CR bars. Took a little more than just turning down. If you don't have access to a lathe then drilling is probably the easiest route. | ||

Had to drill mine with a hand drill. Be careful and slow.  Love the things though!  | ||

what size drill bit did you use as to not make the bars too thin? | ||

I want to say 7/8" but I can't remember. Its been a while since I did it. Basically the bit slid into the bar end snuggly. Had to do it at a buddy's place as I don't own drill bits that size. (Message edited by kinder on March 04, 2011) | ||

Thanks for the suggestions, when I get around to doing it I will document my progress as I don't see any good instructionals on here. |
