I don´t like the stock 1/4, I´m looking for a 1/5 0r a 1/6 turn.
My wrist tends to end up in an L-shape on WOT with the stock grip...
I'm also looking for a quicker turn throttle tube that doesn't have the ribs like the Busa so I can install a stainless throttle lock I'm having made.
My friend has a K7 GSXR and installed a R1 throttle tube (whick is a quicker turn). The R1 doesn't have the ribs on the throttle tube like the Suzuki. BUT the R1 throttle tube is shorter than his GSXR (and also shorter than the Busa's). So he cut off a small piece from his stock GSXR throttle tube and stuffed it up the end of the grip to but up against the R1 throttle tube he installed.
So we know that works but call me a perfectionist I'm not jumpiong on that just yet. Maybe the FJR throttle tube whick is longer then the R1 could fit? Warchild perhaps could verify this since I sold my FJR (boy I'm going to miss her)
.
I also went to see a Kawasaki ZX14 throttle tube which looks to be the same length as the Busa. But I'm not sure it is a quicker turn nor am I sure it will fit the Suzuki housing

Here is a R6 on my bike and the marks where I compared it. I think the difference has been overstated a bit in some theads on some boards.
The front picture is the start on both. You can see where the stock one went and where the current R6 one goes.

As I understand it, the R6 is 1/5 but the R1 is 1/6, so I´m leaning towards the R1 grip.
What also bothers me about the Suzuki grip is the side to side play, just getting rid of that will make this mod worth it for me.

Be careful on that piece you put in to take up space. If it's too tight it will make the throttle tube stick and cause it to keep it revving or not derev(made that word up just now LOL).I'm also looking for a quicker turn throttle tube that doesn't have the ribs like the Busa so I can install a stainless throttle lock I'm having made.

It´s done! I got the grip from an ´04 R1(part# 4YR-26240-02-00), and I have to say it fits alot better than the original part(it´s 2-3mm shorter than the original one, but that´s nothing that can´t be coverd with new grips
). I haven´t tested it in anger, but from the short testrun I did up and down the street I have to say I´m very pleased with the results. The bike responds alot better and that annoying side to side play is completely gone. The whole thing just feels alot more solid

I have an '04 R6 throttle tube on my K3.
Ordered it brand new.
Best $10.00 I've spent.

PHH yes you got it. I did more reading today and the part number you have is what others have used as well. So did as my GSXR friend. Also the gap (shorter length) doesn't seem to be a big deal. I will be careful if I add length to prevent jaming - good warning Busashot. But I would not get a R6 tube. I think the R6 turn would be too quick hence dangerous, at least for me. So I ordered the R1 tube today. So if the rest of you guys wait a day or two mine won't go on back order
easy to do,take your old one off and put this one on. about 10 minutes you will be up and running.

The R6 grip is slower(1/5 of a full circle)than the R1(1/6), so if you want the less agressive one, you need the R6 grip.

The R1 grip comes with a nylon spacer, you could try inserting one in the housing, if you can find one that´s thin enough.
