Using one makes you realise how sophisticated and effective human control is and how well many electronic controls have been able to emulate it.

Human control is an amazing thing.

Would shipping a human controller with the throttle be another option? Smile

I was given the Atlas top kit for my birthday to use on my Buell XB...just before I bought the 2013 CB1100. I put it on the CB without issue, and even with my limited seat time to use it, it has been great. It looks big but I actually forget it is there when I'm not using it. It holds just tight enough not to slip, but loose enough to allow easy tweaks to the set position. It's expensive for sure but it has to be the best of available throttle locks out there.

Thanks for your feedback Yugo24.
Did you get top or bottom kit?
Could you please provide pics in full/R end turn, so I can see clearance between tank & bar/R-switch, while throttle lock is mounted. I have larger, 16.8 L OEM tank, that has less clearance.
Any problem placing pics, see Max link:

I have a huge issue with them calling it a "cruise control", when it's nothing of the sort. In fact, I got in a heated argument with a sales rep once. He continually stated that while it's not a cruise control in conventional sense, it sorta kinda maybe be viewed as such because it has one of its functions. Rolleyes It's an on/off throttle lock, stop cluttering my search query when I'm looking for a genuine product, buttholes.

Agreed: Throttle lock is correct.

How did you get away with "a**holes"? Smile
