The only problem with the Kwick throttle is that the heated grips don't fit over it and you have to machine it down to get them to fit.

I had to take all of the knurling off and then about another mm off the diameter. I didn't have a lathe so it was a PITA, but if you know someone who can machine it down a smidgen, it will make things a lot easier.
