"Progressive throttle cam on the throttle body to decrease twist sensitivity at closed throttle and reduce overall angle of rotation necessary to fully open the throttle induction module" Just the other day I was thinking a non linear effect would make sense on my 04xb. Looks like they beat me to it! Should give you better control at low RPM. Have you ever hit a bump and inadverantly gassed it? Hrm. I wonder if we can retrofit the cam on older models? This would be a nice lil mod if we can. I need a part number! |

Yo cheese whasssup? I asked about this a few months ago and was told that the throttle body cams were different and that it wouldn't retrofit. I tried one of those fancy dirtbike throttle tubes and it would not fit without changing the throttle grip housing and cables. I am listening if you come up with somethin tho! |

The 08 throttle Cables appear to be plastic lined like the new clutch cable.. This could work too.. or both would be nice.. Harley Quick Turn Throttle Tube All Models from 1974-2006 http://g2ergo.com/shop/catalog/Harley-Quick-Turn-T hrottle-Tube-All-Models-from-1974-2006-205.html |

I'm not sure the quick turn is what the 08's are about. The initial part of the twisting has a lower ratio than the last bit of twisting. So it should make the low speed low TPS driving easier to pilot. |
