I think you have a couple of options. Throttlemaster has a handlebar mount friction control (that I use and recommend). Others have a move advanced electronic version that disconnects upon braking.

I have a friction control that I really like. I got mine from a guy in Sturgis this year who put it on but is easy to do yourself. His web site is
www.blackdogcw.com
His name is Kurt Forget. He lives is Sandpoint, Idaho. Phone: 208-263-0438 Mobile: 208-610-0012
Cost was about $100. Very nice guy. I like it for long trips. I also use a throttle rocker for short trips and around town.

I have got an Audiovox unit on my Yamaha FZ1 and it does not have a vacuum reservoir and works well.

The key thing is to install vacuum check valves on the vacuum lines.

For details look at
