So I have been having so much fun on the Uly that I took a 500 mile ride today to see my brother just to say hi . But my right hand did get tired after about 350 miles, so which throttle lock do you fell nutcases recommend? |

Throttlemeister is excellent but you can't use the OEM handguards with it. |

Phelen Yes you can use the Throttlrmaster with the stock hand guards, I have the exact setup on my 09 Uly since it was new in Jan 09, you just have to use a teeny bit of redneck engineering & it is simple. |

this device is almost too perfect to believe, cost about 20 bucks.. it slips back when you throttle down, then push back up with a finger to hold throttle at cruise. Aerostich.com |

I settled on the Kaoko unit. Pricey but fits with the handguards and works quite well. I found that the Go Cruise unit was very nicely made, but took up too much handgrip width for me. I also tried a Throttle Rocker and found that I would pretty regularly unexpectedly blip the throttle. |

I bought a Kaoko unit last year. Not bad but ditched it for something similar to Fotoguzzi's setup this summer. It really does work very well - it moves your hand to the right a little which I find a somewhat tiring around town but it is so easy to remove if you don't want to use it.

Look at Vista Cruise. Use the Yamaha version. Cheap, works well. |

Do you still have the Kaoko simond? |

+1 on the Vista Cruise, don't recall which version I used but I have it on both my bikes, minor modification required. |

I use a lock from 2WheelRide.com that is very similar to the one Fotoguzzi shows above. Made of metal and works like a charm. Inexpensive and very good. Not as nice as a genuine cruise control but very nice. |

Sorry, I sold the Kaoko back in the summer. |

Vista Cruise (Yamaha edition) like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sound-Off-Recreational-Vista -Cruise/dp/B002OMTRUG (I used the link for illustration purposes only) I shaved off the two tabs and attached it to the right controls/switch pod with a small hole and set screw so that the head of the screw wouldn't screw with the throttle twist. It sits neatly between the grip/throttle and the right thumb switches with no interference. If its not clear, my method does require you to drill a small hole in the cruise control and the switch pod. The small set screw doesn't intrude too far in to the switch pod, maybe 1/16" at the most. If you order the OEM pod from American Sport Bike with grip heater switch ( http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/17301 ) and throw in the grip heaters, assuming you don't already have them from the factory or a benevolent P.O., you can kill two birds with one stone and add cruise AND heated palms. Wish I had taken better (or some!) pictures when I did this. |
