Sorry, first VTR - Flow commander? Was thinking power commander.

Well Jamie, I guess you wouldn't want to ride my VTR then as my light flywheel, 2-1 exhaust, long intake runners, Yosh cams and all make it VERY sensitive to throttle input, lol Needless to say, I have developed some very fine motor skills

Here's my perspective on it: you have had to make a lot of adjustments and changes in your riding, for what? What benefit? Sure, I think the 1/4 turn throttles are great for the track where repositioning your wrist is bad and you never really use anything besides OFF-ON anyway. For the street I do not think there is anything to gain, that's why mine hit the crap-can so quickly. Others have had the same experience, so maybe I'm not crazy (yet).

Hi again,

I am happy with mine. It has just taught me finer throttle control, a positive in my book. I have never had any "situations" arise as a result so it's staying for me. Therein lies the beauty of living in a free society.

cheers
