Throttle Tamer install

[TINK]

I installed a G2 Throttle Tamer, here's how I did it...

Remove bar end, hand grip and switch housing screws.


Because the throttle cable length prevents you from simply sliding the throttle tube straight off,
you will need to remove the bars in order to remove/install the throttle tube.


Simply slip the OEM throttle tube out of the switch housing and remove the cables.


The G2 Throttle Tamer cam is larger than the OEM.


Getting the larger G2 Throttle Tamer cam to slide back into the switch housing is a little tricky without loosening the cable adjustment at the throttle body,
but it can be done with a little manipulating, but its tight.


Reinstall throttle tube, switch housing screws, hand grip and bar end... go for a test ride.

Thanks Tink. Great narrative and pics.

Interesting, and maybe I'm missing something, but what's being gained with this mod?

Never mind, I did an online search and see what's it about.
The throttle on my CB is very smooth and progressive with no jerking or snatching at all, so I'm staying with the OEM.
Looks like a great mod for those who need it.

Thanks Tink!

Tink,

Throttle Free-Play is adjusted right where the cables enter the switch housing. That being the case, couldn't you have simply created enough slack at that point to make disassembly and reassembly easier without the need to remove the bars?

I went through a similar process on my Vulcan 1700 and did not need to remove the bars. You just need to readjust your throttle free-play afterwards, and marking the fittings before hand makes this simple.

Now, perhaps the cables on my Vulcan were much longer to begin with, but the cable adjustment hardware at the switch housing looks very similar.
