Uptite throttle tested today - sweet!

[oldskool63]

Received my throttle tube from George the other day and everything fit like it should. Broke the bike out today for a few hours and it is golden.

Smooth as butter and really nice on the tight stuff. His oil fill plug is pretty trick too. I customized it with some caliper paint.

Some very sexy bling there Mate. looks very nice indeed.

I like the paint job.

I have one on my 08 TE 300 (Athena) and it definitely improves the feel in the throttle.

Did you notice a large change in throttle response with larger diameter throttle tube?

 

[oldskool63]

Thanks for the props guys!

For sure noticed a change, but I believe it's the smoothness that makes it feel different. I noticed it on the gas and off the gas. I mic'd the cam and it's the same diameter. I know G2 makes throttle cams 10-20% larger. There is some room in the stock Domino housing for a larger cam.

Has anyone put handquards with it yet? I have one & would like to use it but can't fiqure it out. I may want to sell it. I have had it for about a year & never used.

I put handguards on with mine. It works great! You can't use the end bearing but the action is still smoother than stock without the bearing. All you need to do is cut off the end of the tube. You may want to talk to George because I thought he came up with fix for this issue, but I have not talked to him in years.

I wanted to use the whole set up including the bearing. I didn't want to cut on a $50 item, but i quess I will. The last time I talked to George he didn't have an answer & he usually has a answer for everything. right? I didn't want to send it back because it looks & feels sooo good. ONe guy on here figured something out but I couldn't quite understand it. I was hoping someone else had a fix. Cutting the end off is better than having it on my bench for a year though, thanks !

Yup, cutting the end off of the tube is the way to go. Just like cutting the end off your grips. Both need to be cut to install full wrap around handguards

Mr. Bagman; Send me your old one and I'll send you the new one for the wrap around guards.
Later George

Hey BigD went riding today. Bagman, get that back to George for a swap. Big improvment over the stock.

 

[glangston]

Old School, you need one of George's "hooligan" pipes.....

Thanks George

I didn't know the other type existed. I can't wait! What good service!
