Make your own. Wrap a ziptie or something similar around the spot where the cable sits.

Youd only need to turn it a fitfh of the way for WOT instead of the full OEM turn.

No, it means being able totwist your throttle 1/5 the normal distance for wide open throttle. Not what yer looking for.

You'd probably get what you're looking for by regearing the bike. -1 front/+3 rear

How will he gets what he wants by gearing the bike differently? That doesnt shorten the turn...

Just guessing that he wants quicker acceleration with less throttle movement.

A 1/5th throttle for the street is a waste IMHO.
