I have performed this mod for MANY Nomads, matter of fact the first customer that had this mod done is local here in South Florida and owns a Nomad. His results were documented here and on another forum, matter of fact he started the "throttle modification" thread!
The Nomads respond well to this mod as it has the same delay programmed into the ECU as the other Vulcans. Zero slack in the cables does NOT alter the ratio of grip rotation to throttle plate operation.
