I don't know if I would trust a guy that is rolling down the highway at 1000 rpms on a Harley though. Would be a good mod to prevent theft one hit of the throttle and probably into a wall.

Actually, I'm interseted in this...does anyone have this on their bike? My throttle takes way too long to crank it open.
I had a quick turn throttle on my '04 Kawi Z1000 and liked it alot. Didn't know there's one available for the Harleys.

Is it really that big of deal to turn the throttle??
The guy in the video makes it seem so dramatic. I can't say I've ever had to instantly go full throttle, just shift down and go if you need the extra RPMs.
Can't say I've ever been cruising at 75 and instantly had to go 100.

So, curious me... went out to check the throttle on my bike.... whaddya know, it's already a 1/4 turn.... .
Have fun with it! My thoughts are unless you have a really incredible engine build on these bikes, the extra throttle "response" on a basically stock bike is not going to give you anything. Not like you think you might get, and especially when comparing it to hi-reving rice grinder.
Just my thoughts, do what makes you happy.. that's what these bikes are all about
