Throttle Tubes
Throttle Tubes
So the 01 250 I used for my conversion had bark busters on board. I removed them and was looking at the throttle tube and the first time I rode the bike, my hand almost slipped off of the throttle, anyway when I got back to the house I measured the throttle tube off of the 90 donor bike, and damned if the old one isn't 1/2" longer than the 01 250's. Anyone know why they shortend the tube length or am I just seeing things?

Mine is the same way, most likely it was just laid down on that side and the jagged edge of the tube cut even. If the donor tube has the end cap, swap the tubes they should be the same. I have a new one which is much longer, just waiting to get out of the training wheel stage to put it on

these are often the same people that have a half inch of throttle tube hanging out over the edge of the bar.

Re: Throttle Tubes
I have mine cut for guards, but the end of my tube is flush with the end of the handlebars.MrDude_1 wrote:
