Well got my new carb in today!!!gigadeegigadee.
It is a FCR39, which from what I have read, will assist in ripping my face-off. I will have to do some mods first, there is some crap from the YFZ that I have to remove. Some mods that will have to be done to adapt it, and they say it is a slight pain to get them tuned in, but once its done its worth it. Im all excited.

So I got my custom throttle cable in today. It was made to adapt from the FCR to the ltz thumber. The thing looks grweat and quality built, but the part that attaches to the carb is not quite the same size. I called the technician at the factory and he explained that not all fcr's are built the same. OK. He explained that sometimes the body requires some trimming to make the cable fit. Well I wished he would have told me that from the beggining, I prolly wouldn't have ordered the cable. But he said if i have problems, to send the cable and carb to him and he will make good on it.. Well Hector or Jose whatever your name is, thats not gonna work cause I want it and I want it now!

Per the factory, in the last picture the tech said to unscrew the two halfs and cut the nut off. I guess this is common for most but some need that nut for the extra adjustment

Yeah sounds like its a frame, worth about.........350-400. He used image shack I used paint on windows.
I did get the problem fixed yesterday. Little time with a file and she fits like a glove. Now just waiting for the 5mm x .5 tap to get here so i can add my idle screw.

Well got the carb in. This thing is a whole new machine and I'm not done tuning it yet. Imagine all the torque you get right there in the middle of 2nd gear, this has that throw you off the bike-pull the front wheels-can't hold on power from the bottom of 1st to the top of 5th.
Turns out I had the cable backwards but no damage was done, whodathunkit?
