I want a throttle lock/cruise control: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

loudboys has had a Throttlemeister on his bike for about 10,000 miles now, and loves it. It took about 3 tries to get the shims right, and a little practice to get used to it, but it is very easy to use. As far as technique, most of the time you just roll it on and off with pinkie and ring finger, but if you have to slow unexpectedly you can wrap your hand around the grip and the Throttlemeister at the same time and roll them both off together.

The Throttlemeister works by replacing the bar ends. (Getting the heavy version will help to cut down on vibration.) It is generally acknowledged that the Throttlemeister design is cleaner and simpler than the Vista, but then there is the small matter of price discrepancy: Throttlemeisters run about $125.

'''MANIC Salamander'''

Manic Salamanders work just like Throttlemeisters. They are very heavy bar ends, and not only do they work well, they also minimize vibrations in the bars. To lock the throttle, roll the bar end towards you, causing friction against the throttle tube and holding it in place, but not so much that you can't roll the throttle back to close it. To turn off the throttle lock, simply roll the bar end away from you.
