Throttle locks?? Help please..

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jess from VA:
I understand cruise control, I even use it very occasionally on freeways in my new truck. (so occasionally that I have to relearn how to work it each time, as it involves three steps... I think)  The newer 37 functions on four steering wheel stalks (and buttons on the steering wheel) is freaking confusing.  :tickedoff:

I only stopped stomping my foot for brights a few years ago.   ;D 

But I see a cheaper mechanical throttle lock as most utilitarian in occasional use on motorcycles to relieve throttle hand fatigue.  And most of the time when engaged, I don't remove my hand from the throttle, I just rest it there.  

I suppose if I used freeways all the time on my bikes, cruise control might be useful, but fortunately I don't use freeways all that often, or for long.

On my recent trip to Hattiesburg, my first on the Goldwing I found the cruise invaluable on long stretches of interstate riding. It gave my hand/wrist a break and it kept me at a more constant speed and somehow allowed me to relax a little. I found that with the comfort and wind protection of the Wing I would often find myself creeping up on 90 mph. I’ve had a throttle lock on my Valkyrie and they work and aren’t costly but in hilly terrain you do have to deal with the gain and loss of speed.

Jess from VA:
I especially like cruise for long freeway drives.  It takes the stress of maintaining (and not exceeding) speed out of the equation, always gives better gas mileage, and lets you pay attention to other things (like texters and maniacs and big chunks of semi tires - gators). 

I especially enjoy gators when they explode off a semi ahead of me, and all the cars start to emergency swerve and brake all over the road, and the gators are still moving.   Cruise off.   ;D

If you have a throttle lock for your 1800, which one is the best? I'd like to get one .

Thanks!

I just ordered the Kaoko Throttle Adjuster for my F6B after talking to some folks on this same topic. I should have it soon. It is all I need.  :coolsmiley:
