Does anyone know if any other model throttle tubes are compatible? Looking for something a little quicker than stock.

#2

Have you checked part numbers with other vfrs and see if they can be swapped from other bikes in order to get the desired result. 

Alternately take a bigger handful.

Well, I was hoping to be able to go from closed to WOT comfortably without adjusting my grip so that I could more easily get a bigger handful. I haven't compared part numbers, yet, I figured I'd see if the ground work had been done before I start that.

Given the 8th gen's tendency to be twitchy at low throttle settings, I'd probably set my sites on a progressive unit.

Well it appears that the throttle tube comes with the grip. Different part numbers for the US models.  More of a choice on the std bike but sadly no vfr in list can't see many NC or CB owners wanting a qot.  

Alternately you could just just buy one and try , I'm sure they are only a few dollars from eBay. Or adjust your grip prior to opening.  If you've never tried one they take a bit of getting used to on the street.

Progressive would be preferred, but I'll take what I can get.

I might try a few and see what happens. I'll probably compare pictures and see if anything even looks possible.

Check out the G2 Throttle Tamer.
