I like mine.They look good,work as advertised and do reduce vibration a little.Pretty easy to install too. |

I use the heavy ones and they work great. Had to trim a little rubber off the the end of the grip but it wasn't hard. Make sure you get it positioned correctly the first time it's hard to move after that. |

Had one on my Sprint, quality product, works fine I won't be putting one on the 1125R, for me I won't use it enough and it's not applicable |

I have the heavy ones on my CR. Had to drill the clubmans out to get them to fit. Took some time but they work great. |

Had them on my M2 and were great. Espeacialy for when I rode it to Colorado. It give you a chance to relax your throttle hand. Very nice. |

i am thinking about these, but curious how easy it is to engage or disengage while riding. I was on the site and they have a GIF showing how to activate and deactivate it, but I wasnt sure how one would be able to hold the throttle at, for example, 70mph and then engage the unit. Thanks |

it's easy enough I found if you want to keep the throttle exactly where it's at, best to reach over with the left hand to activate but you can do it all with right hand only |

No, they are a friction throttle lock |

I have looked at them since they came out...I simply can't justify the cost for the same function a $20 Vista Cruise does. On my R I put on a set of steel bar ends I had lying around from my SV650 and a vista cruise. Same function as the Throttlemeister, total cost: ~$25. |

Not the same. Had a vista cruise years ago, and the throttlemeister is light years better. found the vista tended to provide some stiction even when it's supposed to be off if it's working for you and you are happy, rock on (Message edited by sprintst on July 25, 2011) |

Seem the same to me. They both provide a mechanical lock on the throttle via friction. If your Vista Cruise is active when disengaged, you have it set wrong. |

Since it's wedged between the grip and the housing, I was never able to get it 100% free and clear The Throttlemeister's are also anti-vibe bar ends too (Message edited by sprintst on July 25, 2011) |
