I found it while browsing for a throttle lock in the advrider.com forum. Quite some people seem to like it.

i thought it looked interesting. They're all a bit compromised, though, compared to a decent cruise control. I find it really hard to get my throttle lock exactly right. Either the bike speeds up or slows down and the slightest slope or change in air pressure can make a difference.

I have a H-D touring bike that has a true cruise control and it really helps on long streches of highways.

I liked this design because it doesn't use space on the grip. When I installed the heated grips I realized that they are shorter than the Honda stock grips.

Oh, yes. I would find driving my car on the highway much less agreeable without the cruise control. While I try to avoid highways on the bike, there are occasions when they're unavoidable as well as straight, fast roads where an electronic cruise control would be a wonderful thing.

I honestly don't like highways but I only have weekends and vacation days to do longer rides and sometimes you have to use them to get to the nice roads.

I am participating for the second year on this sort of rally:

Honoring military, police, firefighters and first responders. It is really a nice group of riders all over the country. And cruise control is almost a must for me.
Maybe I should make a thread to let everyone know about it.

I have had this Madco cam lock for a long time. It came on a used bike I bought many years ago. I just keep taking it off and putting it on the next bike. It works great and is very simple. It has a little tool to adjust the tension just right.





Works on every Honda I have had with 1 inch handlebars. Did NOT work on my CB1100 because I had heated grips.
I had no idea they are pricey lil buggers ( I got mine for free) til I googled the link:

They almost look stock?

Thanks Ole!
It does look like a good option and doesn't change the stock look as well.
I guess since it is a single piece you have to remove the rubber and slide it in, is that right?
I don't understand why they mention on their website that it does work with heated grips.

Yep, remove grip and slide it on, reglue grip. I remove grips with WD40, a long thin screwdriver, and compressed air. Am unsure why it did not fit with heated grips on the CB. I provided my cam lock to the dealer mechanic before he put the heaters on and all he told me was "it was a no go"

sorry I can't help you more

Not a problem, thanks.
