#98512 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Gold Boarder Posts: 707 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Its just a piece of aluminum flat stock, one of the tech articles here has a version... I started with a piece of tin to use as a template, than added the arc so my thumb would clear to hit the starter.. smoothed it out on the belt sander to give it the brushed aluminum look and bolted it on. Drilling the hole in the housing by hand so not to hit the starter button or wires inside.. If you drill the hole in the housing -one of the wire drill sizes to work with the metric screws for tapping the housing, I could probably make another piece, I had the taps for the metric screws and just had to buy the stainless locknut.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1040 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Here's another option for a throttle lock. I've used mine since last summer, and I like the way you can't see it most of the time. I really like what bowhunter did with his Vista Cruise though!

I do alot of 250 plus mile days on the scoot and alot of open road... There isnt much room between the Kury grip and the housing but i am sure there is something that can be rigged up   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98622 billjr (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1160 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Here is a nice one, I think it has a lever to disengauge when you tap the front brake. http://www.cyclesolutions.net/index.php?option=com_store&manufacturer=1&item=BKWY-5CP02 When I have the extra $$$$$$$$$$$ Im going for this one.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #98692 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1267 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Much of the numbness comes from the position of the arm and shoulder to the handle bars. My stock bars were too low and too far forward. Baron's has articles on proper positioning of the bars for maximum comfort and control. Another cause of numbness is constant grip pressure to hold the throttle. This can be relieved with a throttle Boss or similar device that allows you to release the grip and hold throttle position with the butt of your hand. I have traveled many long miles this way with no issues. However, recently I added the Brake Away throttle lock and man is that nice. I can set it and relax my right hand. No more pain in the shoulder from holding position for long periods. The Brake Away is pricey, but worth it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98701 bigpic (User) Work Hard - Play Hard Fresh Boarder Posts: 30 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   So, Cruiserbob, how do you actuate the Brake Away? And does it disengage when you pull the front brake lever? For the cost, it ought to be something much more than the Clever Lever or the simple "throttle boss", paddle types. Not knowing exactly what causes the numbness in my fingers yet (grips, bars, nerve damage, etc.) I'm thinking to start with the least expensive 'fix' and go from there. But the safest and most effective cruise control is in the future anyway. Thanks for the tip.   Logged     [C:\\Users\\user\\Pictures\\DSCF0091label.jpg]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98734 bthomas (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 594 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Go here to watch a video of the throttle lock. http://www.brakeawayproducts.com/demovideo.html   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98768 chadparker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   What size gasket is the smallest gasket with the throttle lock? I may need to replace mine with something cut a little better that what I did! -cp   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #98802 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Gold Boarder Posts: 707 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   They give you 2, I trimmed the one small enough to fit in snug with the cut edge going inside to not be seen.. its only purpose is to give the screws a surface to push against the throttle to keep it form slipping. I had to push it in with a screw driver to get past the iso rubber parts on the grip.   Logged     Paul K&N, V&H Powershots, 185DJ, Stock Pilot, 3.25pms   The administrator has disabled public write access. #99391 underdog2003 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 128 Re:throttle lock and ISO Grips??? 3 Years, 10 Months ago   bowhunter4265 wrote: another angle.. drilled the housing by hand and tapped to match the screws that came with the vista. trimmed the rubber to fit. Hey bowhunter, I have the same throttle lock and I'm having some trouble with it. It doesn't hold the throttle tight enough and it starts to let out slowly but surely even though I locked it. Also, what is the standard release procedure for these? Do you just push it back out? Or is there a smoother way? I'm new to the game so any help is greatly appreciated!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
