Unfortunately, I never took a picture on the bike. You have to remove your grip and slide the throttle lock over the throttle tube. There are two prongs that go on either side of the throttle cables. With the thumb tab in the unlocked position, the throttle lock slides over the tube freely...

I've made several purchase's from PJ and Paige and have never had a bad experience. They are awesome to deal with and I always check their website first when I'm looking for new toys.

Here's a link from the other site that I used and it was great info. Reconstituted TB Sync Tutorial - FZ1OA Message Board

I bought a set from Tom and they didn't fit either. It looked like they weren't centered correctly or the jig slipped. I talked with him and he looked at the other sets he had and they weren't cut right either. Tom made a new set for me and I returned the others and they fit great.

Yes, I did the LD upgrade. I didn't do the passenger seat because my wife doesn't ride. I know what you mean about waiting. I actually bought another rider seat so I could keep riding until mine came back. Now I have a spare sitting in my garage in case I ever need it.

I tried the ColorRite pens and wasn't impressed. There is an obvious difference. I have an 08 Shift Red and you have to use 2 different pens (base / top) coats. What color is your bike? There is a thread on the other site about these and one of the guys found the Duplicolor works great for...

I cut 1/2" off each end on my bars. Makes all the difference in the world. I have aftermarket bar ends so I didn't have to worry about screwing in the stock bar ends.

Sorry for your loss. The best friends I've ever had in my life had four paws. They give love and friendship unconditionally and they don't ask for anything.
