Had this on a 1997 Valkyrie. Installed it on the CB1100. Hope to test it out tomorrow.

I too, look forward to your test report, Razor.
However, how sure can you be of a true test without RLETs or aftermarket shorty levers???
J/K, of course.
I would like some sort of cruise/throttle control myself. :biker:

Lazer,
It looks like the cam is missing. Is it? If so you can get parts, sometimes for free, from BrakeAway

It does look like a part or cam is missing. Its odd because the Brake Away was made for a larger diameter throttle (Valkyrie vs CB1100). I used the largest rubber piece in the kit, and it held fine.Lord Popgun_imp said:
----------------------------------------
Did a test ride up to Grand Rapids and back (approx 100 miles, 65-75mph)
Unit worked great.
- held throttle fine
- applying front brake disabled the unit
- manual disengagement lever worked every time.
The not so good.
- only drawback was the unit made my hand feel cramped on the throttle. It takes up about 5/8".
Wasn't right for me, so I took it off. I'm sure it'll be fine for others.

Oh, the RLETs... just a personal preference to not have them on the 1100. On the hand; the CB750 & CB175 both have them

The BrakeAway on my ST takes up a lot of space on heated grips as they are not as long as the stock. Which I though was weird as they are Honda. Lucky for me I have small hands.
You're good on the RLETS. Just a little ribbing here and there to have fun on the board

Tell me, popgun, I can't wait to know: why do you want ribbing on your RLETs?Lord Popgun_imp said:The BrakeAway on my ST takes up a lot of space on heated grips as they are not as long as the stock. Which I though was weird as they are Honda. Lucky for me I have small hands.

Being as I am slow on Internet acronyms, I had to look that one up, but you're quite right redbirds. I thought he'd tell us about improved airflow or something.

I can see some serious cracks in forum camaraderie developing. RLET advancer and RLET denier groups could rip this forum apart. As a matter of urgency I call on the Ferret to place RLET discussion on the banned list.
WARNING: I have read on the inter web (so it must be right) that these RLET devices irrevocably erode the vigour of motorcyclists' Precious Bodily Fluids. A certain, universally respected, organisation based in Virginia has provided intelligence that supports the theory that RLETS are manufactured, distributed and pushed by a shadowy network of power craving Prius owners that grew out of a now defunct Cold War era organisation of Leyland P76 owners pushed over the edge of sanity by their massive mistake.

That'd be the same mob that manufactures Dr Dactyl's Omni Grade All Purpose Motorcycle Oil?

Well, I am used to being an outcast. Being breast-fed on Hondas throughout my motorcycling history I can sincerely appreciate the love that RLETs inspires...........BUT I have always been drawn to the minor, more performance-inspired farkles like different levers/mirrors/bar-ends, etc. Perhaps I can get Takashi or even U-KANAYA to produce some RLET-LESS t-shirts or decals. LOL!!! :clap: :biker:Lord Popgun_imp said:Oh you too now, huh Inline? :dodgy: Well No RLET shirts for you or Redbirds
Now that would be cool! Hehe!
