Cruise Control

[Semper Gumby]

OK I searched first but came up with nothing so here is a new thread.   :-/

Does anybody use cruise control/throttle lock on the R65 :question

I'm looking at Throttlemeister,  Vista,  NEP, and believe it or not a large Silicon O-ring out of a Caterpillar Diesel catalog!!!  Where is that picture......

If you have pictures of your install, I'd love to see 'em.

Thanks in advance,

Yikes! I just looked those up and yow are they 'spensive .
I have used the throttle screw thingie on extended rides and it does help. Justin had fabbed up a neat replacement for the throttle grip screw that had a spring and flip lever for quick on / off setting. Maybe if we ask he'd fab up a couple more. I'd still like to get one after the Holidays

O-Ring Throttle Lock!!!!

I just ordered two for about 8 bucks!  It won't work on the R65 as I have BMW heated grips but it will probable work on the BSA's (which have bar end weights).

Another picture:

Rich, I've been selling the crap out of 'em on e-Bay.  If anybody wants one it will be about $33 shipped.

Does it work on an '84 r65 and how?

Is there a thread showing this working/in action?


tks

[Justin B.]

Steve, not much to show, with the lever "down" your throttle returns normally and when the lever is flipped up it presses a delrin rod against the throttle tube to hold it in place.

Trolle, they work on any Airhead or early K-bike except for maybe the Mystic or R100R because I think the throttle is different...

[trolle]

If you will tell me how they are installed I want one.

+1 with trolle.  

[Justin B.]

It installs in place of the throttle screw.  If you don't have a throttle screw installed there will be a plastic plug on the underneath side of the throttle.

Justin...is the throttle lock you make switch from "on" to "off" position or all infinite positions in between to make the throttle drag a bit?

[Justin B.]

Sue, for all practical purposes I would consider it's operation on/off although I suppose one could "fiddle" with it and get different degrees of drag...

Resurrecting this thread.
Justin, are you still making these 'cruise controls' and if so how much are they now? I'm Interested.
Thanks, Bill

I have nothing to do with this eBay listing, just found it after reading this thread. Seems kind of pricey to me.
