I fitted one when I first got my bike - very good and fully adjustable - comes with 3 different cams!

If using the 749/999,most people just fit a 996 oe one,as the ratio is like q action unit,in comparison,and cheaper !!!

this is NOT a good idea as it only has one cable - the 749/999 has two - open and close is controlled by the cable and not by the return spring!

heres mine,i got me a 996 throttle twist grip then bin the 996 cable as its too short,then with your 999 cable -i took it to a local cable maker who replaced the inner cable while threading the metal 996 housing adjuster,you want to retain the 999 cable as the outer cable has a plastic coat inside which make for a smooth action. i know of lots of 999s thet have had this done without any spring problems. failing that pro v twins can sort you a rs cable to replace the 999 cable for around £70-£90?. my rework cable set me back £10.

Pro Twins wanted £200 for their mod - they said that they had to modify the spring - RUBBISH.

Either mod works fine WITHOUT a spring mod!

i've used a 999 and the throttle is to light and has too much travel, the single cable one was much better. And they still fit a single cable to the s4rs so carn't be too much wrong with it.
