You only NEED 400 grit, but you can go as high as you want. If you want to make it shine that wont hurt, perhaps it will help more - I'm not sure I'm thinking of trying to polish mine but have not yet. I sanded both sides and even gently on the edges to make sure everything was smooth. Once you get the sanding all done the next step is to adjust the idle & air / fuel mixture screw. I'm not sure the slide will be a night and day difference, but adjusting the carburetor right will be!

Jim,
As you can probably tell, Moose is a brand name. If we throw some lingo at you that you aren't sure about be sure and ask, sometimes we get so used to the lingo we forget that there might be people who don't know all of the brands etc.
It really figures that NOW - after I already bought my Billet Thumb Throttle that Moose has the Blue one. Oh well, I think all in all the natural aluminum would have been my second choice and it gives me the option to polish it at some point if I ever want to.

It's not so bad in the dunes but on a track where you vary the thumb throttle especially for setting up big air, you need to hammer it before flight, and gun it when you land. Iwas giving a YFZ450 a good run until my thumb fatigued.
Blackhawk where did you get your cable from? I can order it from Terry Cable but its about 2 weeks to get here.
The thing is tomorrow I'm going to anothe track.

Just call mr hp. He'll get you the EXACT cable you need for your setup (and they're in stock).
