Anyone using the Kaoko throttle control?

That looks different to me compared to the one you posted in post 15

Same concept and design I think, no ?

sort of ..same but different. If you are reviewing one piece, I would think a link to that piece would be beneficial to those reading your review.

you don't have a link to the one you purchased?

I believe the same link had 2 or 3 different designs based on your handlebars/mounting style but it might not be the same product at all

First ride impressions: it is not great, but can be useful.
Went for a short ride today with my toy. Not enough time to go on a longer ride but anyway here is what I found.

What I like
- is that there is no way this thang could cause an accident,
- you need to slow down, role the throttle to idle, no extra force needed,
- you can adjust the throttle while it's engaged
- ease of installation, and no permanent changes

What I find "okay"
- if you need to shift gear, you still have to go to idle (of course !), but then it requires additional adjustment which is not instantaneous.

What I don't like as much
- it takes too many twists to really make it engage, not twisted enough and the throttle goes slowly back to idle, and often enough you cannot tell in advance
- I think I will not use it in places where the speed needs to be adjusted frequently, it takes too much attention and distracts me from traffic, but on longer stretches of straight and wide road .... I can see its value.

I'll keep it for the 15 bucks I paid (last in stock, I got lucky), just in case for that long ride on the interstate (which I mostly avoid). But I am still looking for a serious cruise control (which I will probably never find).

Good to know, on previous trips I've gone entire gas tanks on just open highway between destinations so i could see it useful for that. Just set it in 6th gear and give the right hand a break

Good to know, Gecko. Thank you for your report.

[the Ferret]

Those are about the same feelings I have about my Go-Cruise. It's ok on straight, wide open, table top flat roads. Other than that it's pretty much useless. It's certainly no cruise control (and never advertised as such)

Electronic developers among our forum members - speak up - please help. We need a real cruise control for the CB 1100 ...
really do, and 100 units will be sold within a minute, guarantied
