Best idea for a Cruise Control - Cheap method of course??

[Anonymous]

I had one on my KZ, but I took it off. It was too hard to adjust; either too loose or too tight (dangerous). I also noticed the adjustment would gradually change. Maybe just cause it was very old.

I haven't tried it yet, but I hear those bar end weights work really well for reducing vibration/fatigue.

I have improvised a throttle stop out of twine wrapped around the bar between the left side of the throttle grip end and the right side of the right hand control module. Cheap and works for a while but you have to keep rewinding as the string loses friction due to wear. I currently use the NEP brand item metioned earlier. Does the job and does not cost much. It is second nature for me to roll off the throttle or to flip the release with my thumb. 8)

[quote=Anonymous;324765]I personally prefer the throttle rocker. I have the very thick foam grips, and the throttle rocker never ever moves, and Im very hard on the throttle.

I got one From Dennis Kirk for about $10 plus $6 shipping. Velcro Strap with no brainer installation in a minute. They will even replace the rubber friction band for free if need be. I have a hard narrow grip so needed to use that big rubber band

It took about an hour to find the sweet spot in different positions. This one is cleverly designed to use the heel of the hand to hold throttle position and still let you grab the throttle or brake and everything is normal...Cool.

I love this thing. No lock on the rpm is needed here. Just keeps the hand relaxed on the long haul with the brake covered all the time I consider this a safety item too.
