[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1437497, member: 3187"] I used a strip of inner tube rubber, held in place with plastic wire-ties. (Click on image for larger view) [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20080122/index.php?image=DSCF8412.JPG&size=1"][IMG]https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20080122/tmp/0_DSCF8412.JPG[/IMG][/URL] [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20080122/index.php?image=DSCF8410.JPG&size=1"][IMG]https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20080122/tmp/0_DSCF8410.JPG[/IMG][/URL] No diameter increase, but much easier to grip. You can also try for the throttle spring unwind (helps by reducing the throttle tension, but can result in throttle not shutting properly), also consider an after-market cruise control (I fitted the Audiovox CCS100, my fitting pictured [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20110901_ccs100/"]here[/URL], warts and all). Now I have a Gen 3 it's no longer an issue. [/QUOTE]
