Depends what you want to accomplish by doing this mod. If you just want to fix the stupid engineering mistake to enable the possibility of WOT safely without having to change hand position then go with the R1 (seriously who invented the 1/4 turn throttle tube). If you want what they call a "Quick-turn throttle" go with the 06+ R6.

I agree with Gorilla25 and choneofakind; no point changing if your zip tie is working fine. Unless your paranoid about the zip-tie un-sticking itself like me.

If you want to compare your zip tie mod; the diameter of 06+ R6 throttle tube is 40mm measured horizontally so as not to include any of the cable guides. Stock and R1 is 37mm. Only diff with R1 compared to stock is one of the cable guides in longer.
