I'm interested in your throttle lock, looks like a clean,
light design. Let me know when it's available.
Thanks |

I'm following this thread.
Theres a chance I'll end up riding out for Homecoming. To HE!! with allowable vacation. I sure as heck can use a throttle lock and would much rather give YOU the money than anybody! |

I am "in" for one also. Hope they will be ready by spring when I can finally get the bike out on the road again, after all this snow in northern Minnesota. |

My sentiments exactly.
When I'm on my deathbed, I really don't think I'll be saying, "I wish I hadn't taken that ride to Homecoming, when I could have stayed at work and missed all that fun! |

How do throttle locks work with OEM heated grips? Are there some styles that work best or do not work at all? |

This might not appeal to some, but 40,000 miles ago I simply unhooked the spring down by the throttle body...much lighter throttle! And yes, it still closes if you let go.
That obviated my need for a throttle lock or cruise control. |

Yes, yes, Doctor, obviously it obviated your need for a throttle lock. Of course, of course, I can see it all quite clearly now.

Dr G, Mine hardly closes with the spring. Have you had any trouble with sticky cables? |

I've been using the CAT 8M-4991 O-ring with success. You'll need a small gap to make it work. The gap between the HVMP bar end weight and the grip works well.
Roll it into the gap & the added friction holds the throttle open. Very easy to close the throttle even with the added friction. Roll it out of the gap to disengage.
For about $3.00 it's hard to beat!

It will only close when the engine is running. The vibration of the engine acts somewhat like a "vibratory parts feeder." And it takes a few seconds; it closes in a "dignified" manner.
...and "obviate" - verb t., to remove (a need or difficulty)
Youse guys need to get out more... |

Skully,
Did you ever get this throttle lock to a state that you are ready to sale.
I really like your design and I would lover to pick up a set when you are ready sale. |
