Hey everybody - I thought I would start a new thread on this since there have been no posts to the original thread in over a month. I have had my G2 Throttle Tamer in hand for several weeks but, I have been hesitant to tackle the install and I need some advice.
The reason I am hesitant is that, several years back, I installed Kuryakyn ISO grips on a Honda 1100 Sabre. This job, like the G2, involved changing the throttle tube. It took me about six hours of frustration to finally get the cable ferrules captured properly in the recesses of the new throttle tube. I simply did not have enough play in one of the cables - I forget which one (push or pull) but, it was the cable that was not adjustable. Or, maybe I was misaligning the tube somehow. Who knows?
In any case, it appears that the CTX has only one cable that is adjustable and I wonder if I am getting myself into a similar problem. I have the added complication that I will need to remove my (now perfectly adjusted) Brakeaway Cruise Control in order to install the G2. BTW, the Brakeaway is worth every penny and more.
I would greatly appreciate any tips/advice on how to make this project go easier. Also, is the removal and reinstall of the bar end weights a straight forward matter?
Thanks much,
Tom
