I replaced the throttle tubes on both my 1ks with tubes from an R6; it's worth doing in my opinion.
I did the $1 throttle mod. Makes the bike feel more punchy from the throttle opening quicker.

I think that I'll probably buy the whole tube.
Got a little work done today on the bike. Fixed the gear indicator. Had power going into the board but then it just stopped. The connection on the board was bad so i wired it directly into the resistor. Works great. Noticed there was actually room on the board and in the housing for a 6th gear, so thats interesting. I also put on a clamp on my fuel line from the petcock and it started leaking like crazy so i think its shot now. Gonna get a new petcock so i can actually do some tuning.

Did a little more work on the bike. Fixed the coils since it was only running on 2 cylinders. Took it for a ride last night. Was a ton of fun, but the petcock leaked pretty bad. So i ordered a new petcock. Midrange power sucks pretty bad right now, but the carbs need to be sync'd yet. Going to call some bike shops here in town and see if i can rent a sync tool from them. Also got the airbox all sealed up. Brakes are really good on it but it dives pretty bad so maybe some new springs are in order.
I also have had another project this winter thats been taking my time. Got a 2005 Buell XB9SX for $500 from a friend that runs just fine. Did a little maintenance work on it and thats what ive been riding on nice days here lately. Ill keep you guys updated

The R6 tube gives you 1/4 turn, the R1 gives 1/6 turn. Nice to use and not heavy. From memory, the R1 to use is from the early noughties! Cheers
