    I am swapping out my throttle tube (K6 1000) with a R1 throttle tube to have less throw.

    I know that everyone who does this inexpensive mod uses the 2004-2006 R1 throttle tube as its a direct replacement (per say).

    I have a buddy who has a '07-'08 tube laying around (but in another state). Will this tube work in lieu of the 04'-06 model?

    I don't want to waste his time with shipping if its not going to work to begin with.

    They are different part numbers (4YR-26240-02-00 for the 2004, 4C8-26240-00-00 for the 2007) so I'd be doubtful it would work without modification. They're cheap enough I'd just make sure to get the right one. I'll check when I get home, but I might even have one. I did the R1 or R6 mod (can't remember which now) on my SV and was going to do the R1 mod on my 750 but ended up getting a deal on a Motion Pro throttle.

    Thanks Tigerblade!!!

    Let me know what you come across. I'm going to scan eBay and see if I can get a nice used one for pennies on the dollar.

    Searched through my stuff last night then realized I'd sent that throttle tube to a guy with an SV wanting to do the mod. Sorry! I'd still look for the 2004 just to be on the safe side. Should be able to get one pretty cheap ($12-14 range).
