Quicker throttle? What is the fix?

I recall seeing somewhere what people have used with success to convert the twist grip on an F-2 to a quicker turn deal. I have tried the search function with no real luck... Prepping a new to us (for my GF) bike for the track in a week and I realized you almost have to take two handfulls of the throttle when you try to go "full throttle"....or hold it with your wrist cocked all wacky...
So which throttle tube can I get from one of the major online places that will just slip on and have a reasonable rotation between on and off, so you don't have to point to the sky with your elbow then hit your toe with it to go fast?
thanks all. Don Hanson

Those kits are also $150. The R6 conversion is about $20, and a little work with a dremel tool in some cases.

As mentioned already by the guys in the know, the R6 throttle tube is the quickest answer - it ONLY requires the tube, and the slight trimming you'll need to do with a Dremel will be obvious when you get going, as well as the fact that it's very easy... you will NOT need to replace your throttle housing, cables, etc. - only the tube.
Motion Pro, and other companies did indeed make quick-turn throttles for the F2, but they've all been sold and supply deleted for quite a few years, unless you luck out and find one.
