Just picked this up for $23 out the door from my local Honda shop (I get 15% off). Installed it in 20 minutes with white lithium grease.


Rode it to my favorite non-ethanol gas station, over some railroad tracks and such... Feels great! Gone is the slight laziness. Everything happens RIGHT NOW. Power is immediate. The best word I can think of to describe it as is: CRISP.


No crazy "flip-over-backwards" wheelie action, just a very immediate get-up-and-go.


Some things you'll notice in the pictures: Difference in the eccentric ramp from the stock throttle tube. It also has a grip stop, which is great! HRC was really thinking on this one.


The grip stop means I no longer need the plastic bushings I had on my stock throttle (to keep the grip from slowing down against the throttle mount).


Overall this is one of the better ways to spend about $25.


(Plus, no matter how much you lube the old, stock throttle tube... It just doesn't feel as nice, new, and slippery as a new throttle tube)

Add a couple zip strips worth of thickness. Really puts a little pep in the hawks step
