Poor mans cruise control
« on: April 26, 2016, 11:10:48 PM »
Hi to everyone out there.I was wondering if anyone had a s/h or new throttle lock that they no longer wanted .its the bar end type and it needs to fit the st1100.Throttlemeister is one brand .I thought that someone may have bought one and didn't like it or replaced it with something else.Thanks. Regards John g.

Strewth- I guess they were waiting for the 20th anniversary of its final production run, or somesuch!     :crazy

I had the very first one made by kaoko, it's taken some time to put them into production but they are out there now $157 on eBay.

The one I use is here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=3627.msg63586#msg63586 Only negative is when it's installed operating the start switch with the right thumb is a little difficult but after nearly ten years I've got used to it.
