Check this out folks! http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=YXHFSC&aid=3467&cid=0&s=TMG270100B&a=&aname=B uell_14_throttle_turn_solution New 1/4 turn throttle tube from Twin Motorcycles for all Buell XB & 1125 motorcycles! We're not sure if it will be up on our site on an ongoing basis or not but if it does it will be around $90 shipped in the states. If there's enough interest, we may consider a group buy. What do you think?  Some info: - Compared to R1 / R6 tube mod ( for XB ) the rotation is more - No modification to housing required. There is only so much room inside. This is max rotation without modifying We can get to $60 shipped in the states for a group buy but we'd need 20 orders. I'll take one myself so we'd need 19 more. I'm advertising this elsewhere so hopefully the list will grow quickly. I'll start a list. Copy it and add your name if you're interested. I'll take payment if/when we get to 20. 1. 50dro 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 5-0dro www.5-0dro.com} | ||

These tubes should be to your door (if in the States) during the week of 7/8/2013 if all goes as expected. As always, I'll keep you all posted. Keep in mind that no orders for the group buy will be taken past 6/24/2013. If you need to make other arrangements with us please contact us before then. | ||

> - Compared to R1 / R6 tube mod ( for XB ) the rotation is more > - No modification to housing required. There is only so much room inside. This is max rotation without modifying I'm not quite sure you understand these... I'll have to look at my setup, but it's either the 025 or 050 that requires some dremel work on the throttle assembly to work smoothly, and I think even the 050 at least requires you to run the screws on the loose side or it can bind. Otherwise, it will drag a little bit once assembled. Either way, both are a slightly faster (less) turn throttle than stock. I use these kits and like them alot. Also, it's a *faster* (less) rotation that uses a larger cam. A smaller cam requires more rotation, and should fit in the assembly just fine. These are made in the United States (or, are at least sourced from a US company), so I'm a little curious why you would go to the trouble to re-import them. | ||

I fully understand that a larger cam creates less rotation (faster as you called it). That's the whole idea of it. This tube gives you more rotation than the Yamaha tubes but less than OEM. maybe that wasn't crystal clear in my previous post? We're just trying to get you guys a deal on these regardless on where they are sourced. We are a dealer for Twin Motorcycles so that business relationship is established...we have no dealings with the supplier directly. | ||

> maybe that wasn't crystal clear in my previous post? > This is max rotation without modifying It's this statement that doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps I'm not getting it. If you want max rotation, you use the smallest cam, and there will be no modification required for even ridiculous throttle set-ups, like nearly half-turn (if you can find a cam that small). If you want minimum rotation, you use a large cam, and that's where you run into binding and other issues. Honestly, even the 050 cam (pictured) will probably require some modest work for just about everyone, and depends on a gentle touch on those housing assembly screws. The 025 cam definity requires some dremel time, but it's seriously faster than stock and highly recommended, IMHO. | ||

Ya know...now that I'm looking at that quote closer, I agree with you. That was taken directly from an email from TM. I think he meant either min rotation or max diameter based on the context. Sorry about that. | ||

As much as it pains us to do this, we have to regretfully cancel this group buy.  This product has been removed from our site. Without getting into all the details, there were some mis-communications on the pricing from the manufacturer that had us off by quite a bit. So much so that it would have cost us money to deliver them to you. Those of you that have placed an order already will be given a full refund in the next day or so. If you ordered other products along with the throttle tubes you will be given the option to keep those products on your order or be given a full refund for those as well. If you ordered other products, please send us an email with your selection if you don't receive one from us first. Please be patient as there are many orders to go through and refund. If you don't see your refund in a few days, please contact us and we'll make sure we correct the issue. Please accept our sincere apologies for this. We wish this were not the case. Any questions...please ask. We hop you will consider doing business with 5-0dro again in the future. 5-0dro www.5-0dro.com | ||

You could get a similar product - G2 Tamer for 1125, which is identical to R6 throttle. Been using for a while on 1125. | ||

Dc how much less turn is it compared to stock? And do any modifications have to be made to the housing? | ||

> You could get a similar product - G2 Tamer for 1125 It's more than a bit similar, me thinks... | ||
