I have recently bought a new set of motion pro throttle cables for my 2007 cbr 1000rr. I have noticed that motion pros bar and housing is longer than the stock parts. I can not push the new handle bars all the way in because I have my kill switch on the way. I think there is enough space on the bar to fit everything but my kill switch will not travel further up on the handle bar. Some parts of the brake system in the bottom will not allow it. I have also noticed on youtube that everyone changes their kill switch when they install these new motion pro cables. Do I also need to put an after market kill switch to make everything fit or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Farhad,
The Revolver throttle tube is slightly longer than some OEM throttles, simply to fit as many applications as possible, and also to accommodate those riders who have large hands. It is simple to cut down the throttle tube if necessary, just make sure to clean up any burrs or excess material to make sure nothing will drag on the handlebar. This is the simplest solution if you will be using the stock handlebars. Additionally, in some applications it is possible to move the master cylinder and the start/stop switch further up the handlebar towards the triple clamp to accommodate the longer Revolver throttle. This may require re-drilling some holes for locating pins for either the master cylinder or the switch. Never remove a locating pin, they are a significant safety feature. Aftermarket clip-ons will offer more room on the handlebar, and also greater adjustment of position than stock, and so are an alternative that should be considered, depending on your budget.
In regards to the stop/start switch on your motorcycle, it is not necessary to replace it. Replacement is only necessary when the switches are integrated into the stock throttle housing itself, for instance, on Suzuki GSXR models. Your switch, being separate from the stock throttle, can be used without a problem.
