Installing a throttle meister

[Conrad]

Sorry, meant to say would shortening the actual metal end of the handlebar cause the friction to increase becase the TM would be going on the bar a little further.

You're considering grinding a bit off the end of the bar its self in order to get the TM closer to the end of throttle tube? 

How about moving the throttle tube closer to the TM instead? Can the throttle mounting be loosened up and then moved closer to the end of the bar?

After I installed my G2 Throttle Tamer I had to experiment with different washer combinations to get the spacing "just right" for the Throttle Meister, where it was close enough to engage when turned CCW (the direction of applying throttle) and completely disengaged when turned fully CW.  BTW, I did not use the friction ring.

Good idea, I'll look it over when I get a chance to see if this will work.

Part of the trick of installing these things is to find just the right combination of spacer washer thicknesses so that you can get it mounted an optimal distance from the bar end.  Which is just a very slight clearance with the unit in a retracted position.  And you have to be aware that the rubber can swell with heat, so you may have to do this a few times until you get it right.
