I'm also interested in the quick twist throttle. Mine seems to have quite a bit of play even after adjusting it.

Eh, its a pretty sturdy little nozzle, and it didn't take a ton of force to get out, the bottom is just a small knurled end that seats it in the hole, which has a slight taper. It literally presses in and out with light human power. No hammer required. Every single jet on a GL1000 carburetor (all 6 of them x 4 carbs) are press fit, so it's nothing new to me
The quick twist throttle with the new cable adjusts out to a lot less free play than the stock stuff. I have maybe 4 or 5mm of throttle free play at the bars, and it can actually be adjusted too far and have the throttle open when the bars turn. There isn't a ton of adjustment range left at that point, but it at least has some. The stock cable on mine was maxed out and the throttle still had like half an inch of play to it. Drove me nuts.
The nice thing is, these cables can be found on amazon and ebay for about 10-12 bucks each. I have a couple of backups on hand after my first cable broke at the throttle. So of course, this one will probably never break lol.
