Member Contributer Lorne Posted August 10, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hmm, not as attractive as the Throttlemeister for VFR800 methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted August 10, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2016 I use the one on the right here http://www.jaws-motorcycles.co.uk/bird2.htm#vcc on long trips, less than $50 ! If you take some time to make sure the centre is round rather than slightly oval as it comes, then it works great. Throw the lever with your thumb then give your right hand a rest. Flip up to release, although the throttle can still be adjusted with it on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set mine up so that it just holds the throttle open but I can still turn the throttle to another position easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried every throttle lock out there and the Vista Cruise lock (not the Universal Vista) is the easiest to use, best locking, and most OEM looking of them all. Fit and adjust it properly once and use it for years. Simple and natural thumb actuation. Have had one on my Gen4 for over 20 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted August 10, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2016 Same here. I have a Throttlemeister on my ST1300, but I prefer the cheapo Vista Cruise for its ease of use. I've had one on my RC36 since I-don't-know-when (I've owned an FL since new, so sometime in the '90s, I'd guess!) At some point I shaved the activator lever down to better clear the Bagster tank cover it was pressing on at full right lock, but I don't think that is totally necessary for a bike with stock handlebars. It can be tricky adjusting the Vista Cruise to provide the correct amount of tension to withstand vibration and hold the throttle securely, and I've also experienced some grip-interference issues, but these can be solved so that the throttle snaps back freely when the Vista Cruise is disengaged.

Rambler358 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Go Cruise 2 looks really nice, has gotten good reviews and the price is right.http://www.2wheelride.com/GoCruise_throttle%20control2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
