Yep. It's a very basic piece of kit that works a treat. Delivered in about a week. You could make one for literally a few pence. But I'm inherently idle :) the link above should sort you out.

Simple cheap mod that I can second works a treat and makes a big difference. Fitted one to my 2ch. Hardest part was cutting the adjusters to give the extra length needed to inner cables, might be easier on later 10r though.

order direct from Rifleman his paypal registered email is Rifleman@hotmail.com

$25 US dollars inclusive of shipping worldwide ..

On my JBF I only had to back off the adjusters at the throttle and trim a little plastic tab out of the insert. People seem to advocate a lot of pissing about with dremels. The reality is that as the JBF has a plastic throttle cable/twist grip housing a pair of side cutters whip it right out in seconds. End to end is a 5 minute fit on one of these bad boys :)

I can second the notch in the throttle housing is easy to remove.

Worth a mention for those with older 04 / 05 10r's , one of the cable adjusters is under the tank ( why did they do that ! ) fiddly to mess about with if you have to cut it adding the insert mod, easier to take cables off. The 06 cables have adjusters throttle housing end, so worth getting the later cable and fitting at same time.

I made my own quick action throttle insert and didn't need to chop any bits off the cable adjusters, just lengthened the cables to max. Also I profiled the insert to still give a softer response at low speeds but full throttle is available with just a flick of the wrist.  :icon_thumleft:
