I want a throttle with less travel. does anyone know ho I find one.

Yeah, just do a google search for quick turn throttle tube. That should get you started.

cool

I didn't know they had those. Wouldn't it be harder to control the bike?

Smart sarcastic answer - just learn to control your wrist.

Serious answer - since only a 1/4 turn off to max vs 1/2 turn you don't have to move your hand as much for the desired throttle so often more precise and controlled application. (1/4 vs 1/2 for illustration only but you knew that)

Have you used one?
In my experience it can make the throttle jumpy and less precise.
At least until you get used to it, some bikes even then.

GI, I have used them and like them. I like the minimal change for desired throttle response. Personally, big throttle changes got me out of shape in some painful manner so I've always worked on being very smooth with the controls, so another riding style will have different results.

Gotcha.

I've never noticed those. Thats kinda cool!

Having flashbacks of bikes I've rode or owned.....this product would be suicide on a xr650 or piped yz250. I like it.

I could definitely see the use if you were drag racing a monstrous bike at the dunes or something. I don't think I'll spend the money to experiment, but I want to try one now.
