Me too!

If you have traction control cables though there is one that is the proper length to be shortened to be used as a throttle cable.

SRJ did the modification. Pretty sure he shortened it at that little black box thing above the intake manifold in the pic above.

You can modify the TCS mid line to be used as a throttle cable. I did that to Zex's ride and it worked great.

I used a razor blade and cut little sections at a time of the hard plastic sleeve inside the adjustment box. Then made a slit down the middle and removed each section.
