Thanks for the review

Fast Eddy also has the "Go Cruise" throttle control listed for $19.95 with free shipping. I am definitely ordering one for my Scrambler.

I ordered this ugly arse set up for my R3 because I couldn't ascertain if the snap on model would work with the oversize ISO grips.

I know, it looks like an old "hernia truss" for a motorcycle but I have some bone on bone disc's in my upper neck that operating a motorcycle throttle for extended periods really sets off. Getting really old sucks, but it sure beats the alternative.......

Does it seem like it's made stiff enough to last a while? I've almost ordered this but was concerned about that one issue.

The techno soundtrack in that demo video is an interesting musical choice. :)

That said, looks like a pretty nice farkle. I was thinking about running Grip Puppies over the top of my OEM grips, since it made a really nice improvement on my Thruxton. Anyone happened to try this combo?

For those that are wondering, "What the heck is a Grip Puppy?!?!", here you go. :D

I got it from here..........

The "adapting" I had to do was to make a slug to go inside the bar and inside the bar-end.
Here it is.........





I have a lathe so only took 20 minutes to make up.

Easy really and the end result is very effective I think.

Works for me!! :)

Oh, and yes, the bars have the M5 insert to screw in the bar ends.

I only found one on ebay.co.uk but it's sent from the States:

Have just read in another forum that people used to make their own using a chromed wheel spoke. This is the gist of it:

Re: Go Cruise Throttle Control

That type of cruise control is simular to what guys had made years ago, using the front brake lever as a set post or stop. The design was to take a spoke from a motorcycle wheel, maybe 3/16" in diameter (chromed of course). They would carefully bend a radius or circle on one end to fit over the throttle handle. Then they would place over the throttle and bend into a snug fit on the throttle. leaving the longer end to go underneath the front brake handle. Then just place the extended part/spoke against the brake handle, when at the speed they wanted. Twist the throttle back for to release it...kinda kewl.

Just ordered one from Fast Eddie. $19.95 and the receipt said $0.00 for shipping to Canada,...but we will see when it gets here :D

Probably could have made one but its been awhile since I bought anything so what the heck. Hope it works like it is supposed to.

:) I've just ordered one! I hope it works well, as my brand new titanium shoulder joint dislikes staying in the same position for very long. I had a Kaoko throttle lock on my 1050 Tiger, and I liked it immensely, but they don't do one for my Griso, so here's hoping this gizmo does the trick!

Recently fitted two KAOKO units to our T100's wev'e done about 500miles with them, and I can only say they work brilliantly, the only problem is they are a bit costly, I couldn't find anything similar that would fit 1" bars.
I ordered them straight from the manufacturer in South Africa and even with postage they worked out cheaper than getting them from anywhere else.
