Throttle lock

[flynrider]

Bob, I bought one of these new adjustable Go Cruise's figuring I could use it on several of my bikes since it's adjustable, however the first one I tried it on, my ST 1300, it wouldn't hold a steady speed on flat straight ground, so I returned it. It may have worked on the CB but I never tried it and wished I would have.

I decided to give one of these a try before exploring more expensive options (i.e. KAOKO, Brakeaway). I saw different versions of it on the 'net. The cheaper ones Amazon had no adjustment and needed to be ordered by bar size. On the manufacturer site, they had what looked like a beefier model with a knurled adjustment knob. I got the polished aluminum version ($35, free shipping).

I also got my Grab-On grip covers today and installed them at the same time (15 min. for grips and Go Cruise). I made sure to use the silicone rubber band thing on the inside of the grip, then slid the Go Cruise over it and tightened with the knob. Garage testing showed that the proper tightness is crucial. Too much and the Go Cruise is hard to push forward. Too little and it won't hold the throttle at the set point. I tested it out on a short ride around town and it held 50 mph solidly. Actual highway testing will have to wait for a few days. I'll update when I get it done.
