Can some one recommend a throttle holding device. I have never used one before, but it would be nice to take my right hand off of the throttle once in a while. Thanks for the help!

Throttlemeister.

Check out the NEP throttle lock. 10X less than the Throttlemeister but nowhere near as fancy.

I have the throttlemeister and hate it. If I had it to do all over again I would pick up the Vista cruise for $25.00. I have to fumble to get the
Throttlemeister set. I would prefer the Barender Locks on both sides for weights instead of that big ugly throttlemeister.

Vista cruise. $25. Black where there is only supposed to be black ;-)

I'll buy you a vista cruise and ship it to you if you ship me your throttlemeister. :grin:

Actually I should change it out to the Vista Cruise since I am currently selling about 10 of them a month over to Europe and believe in personal experience with products I sell. I am bitching to the manufacture about the size of the thumb lever on the Vista. To big and ugly.
I don't really use a throttle lock very often so will just leave it alone and fumble with it when I need it.
Thanks for the offer tho......but fook off......get your own Throttlemeister !!
:grin: :cool: :lol:

I have the Vista Cruise and it works. It doesn't fit as well as those I had on my ST1100 and CBR1000...But it's easy to operate...
I'm thinking about the Throttlemeister, though.
Cost aside, anyone has tried both and likes one over the other.
I know that John prefers the VC.... yet he wants to keep the TM :wink:

Cheers,

How so? It doesn't seem like something that'd wear out. I'm curious as to how it may fail.


BTW- my vote is for the Throttlemeister. Pricey but worth it, IMO.

I have the Throttle Rocker and Throttle Meister. The TR I bought in 02 and now cannot live w/o it. I use it all the time. The TM I bought in 03 and I know I cannot live w/o it. First of all, any and all vibrations in the bars are gone. And the polished ends, well, on my bike anyway, are the best looking part of the bike. The TM does take a while to get used to but it is worth it.

Great Day!

You know what? I figured that out when I was away from the computer, and was hoping to get back and edit it before anybody caught my moronic little question there.

Guess not :???:

From best to worst:

1) Throttlemeister
2) Nep CC-3
3) Vista Cruise

:cool: TJ :cool:

i vote for NEP (cuz i didn't know about the vista, but it seems the lever is gonna end up in the wrong place anywho). ugly as fuck but works better than i'd hope for $20, and it works perfectly. to quote my friend scott 'if i had it to do all over again, i'd skip the throttlemeister and go for the NEP'

I put my vote in for the throttlemeister... Best $135 I ever spent on my bike.

Easy to install... Easy to use... Looks nice...

Never tried the other options, but am very satisfied with the throttlemeister.
SwampNut
The NEP as shown above. See install instructions and pics on the site.

I absolutely HATE the Throttlemeister.
Pete in PA
After using the NEP for a year I love it except for the size of the thumb lever so I cut it shorter. Now looks much better and still works fine.

I never could justify $200 for a friction device. I would rather use a C-clamp than pay that much.
Redbird
Who said anything about $200? :???:
