XBS motion pro REV2 Throttle

[TheJmann]

So my Motion Pro REV2 throttle came in today. I took some measurements and was pretty damn satisfied with my shot in the dark. Without any confirmation I was guessing the XBS pull cable was around 35" in length. I did not have one to measure as I had some tom foolery of a previous owner repair. SO lets get into it!

I ordered the Motion Pro REV2 thottle kit pn: 01-2770 https://www.denniskirk.com/motion-pro/rev2-throttle-kit-01-2770.p1911259.prd/1911259.sku

The OE push cable measured length 35.5" from adjusting base to end.


The Motion Pro cables measured 37-1/8" & 38.5" I know they are long in comparison BUT with the new lay out may be just right.


AND THEY FIT THE BUTTERFLY


So tomorrow I am going to install these and will take tons of pictures as I go, they will be going directly in the stock routing. I will be using an EBR right hand control.

So I was able to install everything this morning. Have maybe 2 extra inches of cable. I'm still not happy with the routing that will tuck under the dash. But until I put the dash back together I am content. Everything moves free and smooth even if I hold the cables down where the dash will be. More to come.

looks good. are you able to use other grips or do you have to use the supplied motion pro grip?

 

[TheJmann]

I'll be installing the supplied grips, but they are the same size as stock 7/8" grips

Its hard to tell in the pics but it looks like this may be more at home on a XB-R?

If you decide to stick with this, it would seem like the extra length will work out to your advantage since the routing is now "over the top".

Hmm not sure I follow. They don't make a kit for the lightning and that's what this poor gal is.

XB-R (aka Firebolt) uses a different upper clamp with a built in bar (kind of like clip ons), along with a different fairing that may be more conducive to that setup... especially since its not being routed between the handlebar and the upper clamp like on a Lightning.

I was going to fit a Firebolt upper clamp to the methbuell (traded Cooter for a case of beer), but it was turning out to be more of a hassle than what it was wor

Ahhh now I follow what your putting down. I may try dirt bike style and run it outside the front windscreen

So I ended up pulling the cables back out and ignoring the plastic guide and went around it. It was causing the cables to bind. I Forgot to take pics before I put the windscreen back together. But the cables go over the dash now and work flawlessly!
