For those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
For those who don't, none is possible.

Jus' kiddin'
Had to mod the housing a bit, still uses stock cables.

ZM informed me how easy it is to post pics now, no more photobucket, etc
Thanks ZM

You fitted a threaded cable termination to allow adjustment of the carb sync while riding ?

While riding, or just idling at a light.
Couldn't be simpler.
and almost free!

Nothing wrong with what you have man.
I could teach you a lick on those throttle cables at the carbs, they're easy to play.
Helps you to know where absolute zero free play is, as a starting point, and helps detect binding cables.
All throttle components need to be in top condition, as another starting point.

My throttle snaps back right to the stop with almost no freeplay at the carbs.

Changing out my throttle gear has made my bike much more enjoyable to ride.

Jolly good man. Any slack at the throttle tube? The splitter deals with that.

Minimal slack at the throttle tube. I don't know if the new cables helped, they sure didn't hurt:)
