I was going to say the seat thing. If your throttle is so stiff that the housing spins you need to lube the cables

That was my attempt at humor that may have been lost in translation.....sorry. I was thinking more of the zip tie option!

Honestly there are prettier ways but it worked
All this mod does is pull the throttle cable further with less wrist rotation,, it doesn't matter how you go about doing it, this is not Hi-Tech stuff My dad said they did this all the time on there dirtbikes, WAY Back in the day He just took two slotted head sheet metal screws and ran them into the tube where the cable tracked lined them up with the cable guide so the screws would run in the slots. All this does is make the barrel that the cable runs in Bigger so the cable travels farther for the same amount of wrist turn. It really is that simple. but there are better ways to do it than the screws If I was going to buy one. I would buy Dave's, They are sweeet!! Or if you just don't want to mess with them at all get Ray's, There bolt on Don't let anybody fool you though. At the end of the day, They are all the same thing,, A quick turn throttle

I may be a bit concerned about cable wear as it wraps over the screw head over and over......but that's just me.

Like I said, there are better ways
I ran my dragbike for a couple of seasons that way, A hole bunch of real short trips I would build mine with a cam lobe shape so it will open quickly pass the flat spot in the powerband off idle and then kind of smooth out for the rest of the throttle travel When you think about it This is exactly what a screw would do I know I can build something better, but the screw would be a very quick way to test my theory,, Since I am going to throw away my old throttle tube I have something to investigate with,, I'm starting to like this idea

That's pretty much what dshelly posted above, but I know what you mean, you would think that over the initial "lobe" of the cam it would taper off.... it looks as if the one Dave posted above is a constant thickness (not to say that is NOT the way to do it, it may be perfect), but I would think a more linear travel on the cable would be a taper too. Interested to know if you try it how it works. I could fire up the lathe and make one myself too.....
Dave

If you make the ring like a cam it won't work. This ring is as big as you can go without interfering with the housing. I tried to make it larger diameter and it scraped when you turned it.

I don't know that "bigger" was the intent, only tapered so the initial cam is the same size as your ring, but that it tapers around and gets thinner on the backside so as you twist there is not as much cable pulled in the last half of the rotation.
