Make your own. Wrap a ziptie or something similar around the spot where the cable sits.

Youd only need to turn it a fitfh of the way for WOT instead of the full OEM turn.

No, it means being able to twist your throttle 1/5 the normal distance for wide open throttle. Not what yer looking for.

Racers often use this type of throttle , try checking with a local race shop .

You'd probably get what you're looking for by regearing the bike. -1 front/+3 rear

How will he gets what he wants by gearing the bike differently? That doesnt shorten the turn...

Just guessing that he wants quicker acceleration with less throttle movement.

A 1/5th throttle for the street is a waste IMHO.

Yeah, gearing has nothing to do with it. I just want it shorter so it doesn't take as much effort to downshift.

Take as much effort to downshift??? What??? It takes minimal effort to downshift. You dont even have to touch the throttle when you downshift.

Yeah, you're supposed to blip the throttle on a downshift, and if it's going into higher rpm range, it actually does take a fair amount of effort to do it. Especially say 3rd>2nd gear downshift. Then factor in holding the front brake at the same time, I just don't want as much throttle travel, that's all.

Under hard braking when I blip the throttle, my wrist has to move pretty far and my glove won't slide on the brake lever like I want and as a result I end up grabbing more front brake than I intented. May just be the gloves or lever that I have though.

How about moving the brake lever in closer?

So you don't have to reach as far.

It's already as close in as can be.
