Can't ride, but can still accessorize

[the Ferret]

Actually I bought this for my ST 1300 but will use it for trips on the CB as well.

Yes I had the previous model and the issue i had with it was it wouldn't hold the throttle but would slip and the bike would slow down even on a flat straight road. I will only use it in that kind of situation, flat straight, good line of vision, and out of traffic.

The throttle still closes easily with this unit. Remember though...that anytime you want to disengage the power to the rear wheel, all you have to do is pull in the clutch. The motor will rev, but with the clutch in, you are just free wheeling, there is no power going to the rear wheel. As long as the clutch is in, you can deal with any situation with the throttle as time allows. Hit the kill switch on the right hand switch assy and the motor will instantly die. You could also pull over and put down your sidestand which would kill the motor.

The new model of go-cruise has an adjustment knob so you can adjust just how tight you want it to hold. I prefer control of the throttle at all times, but there are times/situations when it is nice to rest your right hand, if only for a few seconds.

If having your throttle locked, even momentarily makes you nervous, I would not recommend that you get one.
