Default Arlen Ness Throttle Bearing

I've seen this talked about in the forums, but never heard how people liked it? Is is worth cutting your handlebar and installing? does it make a difference?

Cutting your bars is what made me hold off on them. I like the idea of the bearing and all but once that handlebar is cut it will always be short. If it turned out I didn't see that much difference in the grips I would be a bit unhappy.

i put this on mine recently and love it. throttle is way smoother and the grip just feels solid. fyi, measure before you cut. i followed the directions and cut my bars, then after the install i found out i would've been able to do it without cutting. now i have the bushing spaced out a little to keep everything in place.
