Improved throttle bracket

 A source of irritation has been that the throttle tends to be s little sticky when you were giving it just a little gas, just off-throttle, so I  decided to do something about it. The issue was that the angle at which the throttle cable lines up with the throttle body was really awkward and caused the stickiness. My solution was a piece of stout 1 x 1/4" aluminum bar stock and a simple pulley that lines everything up.

Throttle cable with pulley (no worries - the cable was not cinched up yet)

Eventually I would like to build a drive-be-wire system to get rid of the old school throttle cable. Looks like the DBWX2 might be a viable option.
