replacement throttle tube for new grips

[ZeroTo600]

I am getting ready to install some Oxford heated grips.  I have read several helpful posts about filing down the OEM throttle tube in order to install the Oxford grips.  But I'm wondering, has anyone found a replacement throttle tube (non-OEM) that's smooth on the outside?  I have never replaced a throttle tube, but I figure it must be easier than all that filing and sanding.

There seem to be many throttle tubes available online, but nothing stated to fit the CB except the nice-looking (but $$$) aluminum tubes from G2.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Very easy to sand down the notches on the Honda twistgrip - I have done it a few times on different Hondas. I use a Dremel with a sanding attachment (flap wheel) and it only takes a few minutes  - and costs nothing!

+1 to the dremel doesn't take a minute and leave's it nice and smooth. Masked mine up a bit while doing it as it was very dusty.

glencoeman and stokie are right on the money. It's very easy to sand down the stock tube and if you want the comfort of some insurance, just order a spare tube from Honda. I bought one last year and it cost less than $10.
Good luck
