Is this likely to be opened up again, as i'd quite like one that retains the heating element...
Unlikely. We can never get the numbers needed. The throttles are always available from TGP.

You've answered already.
Road & Track user probably wants to retain heating.
Track only doesn't care.
Track only with Alpha race switchgear can't use so definitely doesn't want.

so did i,but we fitted an alpha (assuming they are basically the same) throttle to a mates bike in jerez last week,was going to set adaptions via my gs unit,when someone told us you dont need to,did the process,which is essentially same as the gs and rck and semed to work fine,wether it would have worked fine without doing it no idea as we didn't try it.so it either did it,or it didn't need doing and made me think it worked :race2_smilie:
Did you go direct to TGP or use a UK based supplier?
Direct. Just used Revolut to wire Euros out.
Ever since Prime Factors took 3 weeks to deliver something that I eventually got from alpha racing in 3 days, I prefer to go direct.

we did it the same way as you would with either the gs or rck.
ignition on,full roation of throttle,hold for about 5 seconds,release,ignition off,then back on.
TGP Throttle Fitted, was easy TBH.
Just doing a Throttle Adaption Reset with the GS-911 & will take it for quick spin to see how it feels.
How does it exactly attach to the clipon ? I dont see any wholes in it, so I guess there is no need to drill through clipon ?
Alex, sorry to resurrect this again...
I have been in talks with RS2E about shortening TGP grip and they say this:
Which means TGP grip doesn't really reduce the roll.
Does this make sense to you ? I haven't installed mine yet, but it feels shorter.
I don't know. Not had the TGP, you can use a phone app to register the rotation. Strap the phone to the end of the throttle and Rotate through the range of movement. Difference in the first angle to the second is your rotation degrees.
The HP4-Race throttle was supposed to be short throw as well. But RS2E shortened it further.
So now I can defo say, that TGP is shorter than OEM I have on my 16. But Reiner from RS2E is pretty confident that BMW did shorten throttle in "upgraded" 16 models and it is literally TGP throttle in BMW housing.

i've got a TGP throttle on my bike,and a o/e in my spares box,and tbh icant tell any difference in the the rotation,obvioulsy the TGP is totally different housing,but as far as it being a faster action,would say there isn't any.
pretty sure i read somewhere from phil crow,that the later 16/17 bikes has faster throttle action,so was no need to get a the alpha version,apart from the extra protection in case of a crash

Yes the TGP is more crash resilient!
Just like the Alpha/Jetprime switchgear.
