Suggestions for a Throttle lock?

[maxtog]

Kaoko has worked well for me - not cheap but looks stock.  Very easy to use one-handed.

Interesting.  I had not seen that one before.  Concept is extremely similar to Throttlemeister and similar price but with a more easily accessed actuator.  It might be easier to operate, and has a sort-of disable feature, too.  The only apparent downside is that it stands out more.

Holy Moly!!! $913???!!! Looks like a nice unit but at that price I would go another $100 and get mccruise.

OMG, that must be an error.  When I posted the link before, it was $140 or something similar.  But yeah, now it shows $913!!! LOL

Just my 2 cents to confirm what others have said. IMO the Vista is the most functional throttle lock I have ever had, cheap as hell and looks almost OEM. I have had them on all my bikes for many many years.

 I often wonder why people complain so much about this bike not coming with a cruise control when for $20  you can use this.. I think the super quick thumb action is better than OE cruise I have dealt with on GWings and a BMW

Like I said in years past, I agree too- if you CAN use a Vista, it works great and is simple and effective (and cheap)

Because a throttle lock is not cruise control.  It is great for what it does- give your hand a rest for a minute, allow you to stretch fingers and wrist or adjust something you can't reach with your left hand.  But it is ineffective at actually maintaining speed for very long.  Me?  I probably wouldn't use cruise control on a bike, anyway.... except for the short times that a throttle lock would accomplish.  So while I would love to have CC, I am certainly not going to spend tons of money or effort for it.

when for $20  you can use this..

But you can't just "use" the Vista on a Gen2 because of the additional wires and shroud.  It requires significant modification.  I am kinda surprised that nobody has made/marketed a copy of the same concept, except that actually works (easily/correctly) on the Gen2.  I have tried a few other designs and they are more trouble that they are worth (and thus are never used).

$$ opportunity, someone!

I use the Vista Cruise on my C-14.
  Harry and I discussed our mounts earlier in this discussion.
  I saw another Connie that had found a simpler way to secure the VC. 
     He drilled and tapped a hole in the face of the throttle mechanism and a pivot hole thru the VC.
     Was a very simple/neat installation.

On mine, I solved the heated grip interference by just sanding away a little material.
Was not a problem.

I tried a throttlemeister and couldn't get used to it and kept engaging it unknowingly and then my wrist would burn from working a stiff throttle.  A nice product if you can make it work for you but I couldn't.  Before that I has a vista cruise and that worked well but I had to make it work on my C10 and they didn't make one specific for the model.  It wasn't a clean installation.   

I have been using Murph's bar ends and the O ring for almost 10 years now.  Maybe I've been using to so long it's second nature, but I prefer this set-up over electronics on the other bikes I have ridden.  When I get off the interstate I just roll it over to the side with my palm and the taper of the bar end keep it from escaping.  I can't imagine using anything else now.

I have used an O ring from Cat but now use this on my C14 and my Tuono.  Works like a champ for easing the stress on your wrist a bunch.   

When we do long days on the slab to get to mountains, I let my buddy lead on his KTM 1290 Duke GT, he has an E-cruise and we keep a better set speed without going excessively fast (which is what happens when I lead).

Before spending $ on a throttle lock contraption , think about how much you’d be willing to play for a real cruise control that keeps speed steady with .5 mile, whether it be slabs or hills and mountains .
I used to think I’d never get a mcruise because when I got my bike back in ‘11, they went for around $1200.
Ever since then, the Aussie dollar has fell. On a recent sale, my mccruise was $813. I think they can now be had for under $750, about $600 more than a throttlemeister.
Saves your hand and helps get better mpg too.
