Brake-away throttle lock
« on: February 01, 2013, 09:03:11 PM »
I have purchased a MC-cruise, ordered Tuesday,arrived this morning, took 4 hrs to install, as yet untested. As a result I have 6 months old Brake-away now surplus to requirements, cost $235 from US, will take $100 or what is available to swap.

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?

Have had Vista and others on previous bikes, nothing compares to the Brake-away.
Forgot to mention this is for 1100, not sure if there is a difference to 1300 unit.

Either you're a mechanical genius or the MCCs are easier to install on ST11s, because 4 hours is a very good time.   :thumbsup

That's how long it takes after you've done a couple- I think Dale McLean takes that long on ST13s.
Testing should be fairly straight forward- the instructions for provided everything are excellent and the phone help ditto.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Being a retired sparky probably helped, I found the most difficult part was access to the coil for the tacho cable, everything else was plug in. My problem at the moment is lack of return on the throttle but I'm working on that.
