    has anyone fitted a hrc throttle to their 08+ blade. one question can the standard cables be left in place or do you have to change the everything.

    You can use the standard cables, but getting enough play to fit it is tricky. Check on the 1000RR.net forum for more info.

    If that happened you'd just hit the kill switch

    Yes all the Americans seem to do this mod. Be aware that you'll need to do some bodging to get it to work.
    Total false economy AFAIC. Right up there with Chinese levers!

    I have the HRC throttle fitted + cables. I paid someone with small hands to fit them Its a PITA job my mechanic told me.

    There are some cheap HRC kits on eBay at the moment as well.

    Worthy mod if you track your bike.
