Andy's just stripped the XJR bars off and put on Renthals for me. Everything fits fine but the throttle will not return freely. No matter how much it is jiggles and adjusted, it will not twist free. Even with a dose of WD40. Well, that is to say it will when it's loose in a certain position that will foul the brake lever if it stays there but adjust it to how it should be, tighten the bolts up and nothing... The old bars have two wee holes where this twisty part (push me pull you cable ends) sits which might be needed. Any ideas? PS Haynes says "Simply fit plug A in slot B..."

Broats are most commonly seen on elderly retired army officers. Originally the broats were part of their best suit back in the thirties; then in the fifties they were demoted and used for gardening. Recently pensions not being what they were, the broats have been called out of retirement and reinstated as part of the best suit again.
Yeah, treat it as a cruise control. I fitted one to the K and it makes it better to ride IMO. Of course, *when* I drop it and it lies on its side revving its nuts off I'll feel differently about it. Based on 24 years riding and six hospital visits over the first 22 years I reckon that's in a year or so.
Yep you need to drill similar holes in the renthals, without them the whole switchgear and throttle caboodle won't sit right.
