After searching for a while for a quick turn throttle kit, with no luck, I decided to make my own.
I sourced the racing throttle from Yoyodyne. The throttle comes with 3 different cams. Right now I am using the largest. The kit does not come with a starter switch, so I bought a right hand switch assembly for an RC51 and rewired it to fit the Buell connector.
Because the kit is not actually made for the Buell, I had a local shop make the pull cable to my specifications.
The results:
-Insane but still fairly easy to control
-Dramatically reduced wrist fatigue

So sorry for my lack of knowledge of a quick turn throttle but what does it do exactly? Does it make throttle movement easier or does it make it snapper? Like if i move my wrist 1/4'' on my regular setup, this setup will move the throttle open as if i moved my wrist a 1/2''?
Well Done!
Plan on making a return cable?
Now that's thinking out side of the square. Very nice.
BeDaring-- a quick turn throttle reduces the amount of rotation needed to get to full throttle. In essence, it allows the rider to reach full throttle quicker.
BuellerPilot--Yes sir, I will prob measure next weekend.
TooFst-- Thanks!
Nice mod:D I'm definitely gonna have to look in to that
Hmm. This makes me wonder... I may have to go pick up a ball bearing throttle tube sometime soon. It makes a world of difference on my dirt bike.
^^ lol I was thinking the exact same thing.. ball bearing throttle and YES makes riding my dirt bike sooo much funner!

DIY Quick Turn Throttle Mod - Has pics and Step-by-Step instructions.
The other option that involves much less work and only costs about $10 new it just replace with an R6 throttle tube, much quicker throttle and drops right in.
