i did mine myself using the parts shown below.
the original cable was shortened and the plastic 90 deg bend was cut off.
i then used an adjuster from a mountain bike cable ( same size) and the 996 throttle assy
i messured the freeplay needed and then attached a new nipple to the cable .
bingo job done cost about 40 bucks.


the harder question to answer is did it make the bike better......


pros-
less hand movment to required to go from closed to fully open
cons-
i felt the fine feel i had with the throttle when passing the apex was a little lost ,ie it was all or nothing ,i played with the freeplay but made no difference

in the end i think you should not listen to me, but try it youreself
