| | Posted : 09 Feb 2017 - 03:17 Post title : Re: Throttlemeister (Re: AZCactus) | | | Does the weight help lessen vibration in the bar? Also when it is engaged do you have to unscrew the lock to disengage ? Sorry for all the question but I tour quite a bit and I'm hoping it will lessen fatigue and cramping in my hand. I've ordered one today they're pretty pricey hope it is worth it.

| | Posted : 09 Feb 2017 - 22:43 Post title : Re: Throttlemeister (Re: PES) | | | Yep,I have one also You don't have to lock it "tight" to work and you can still move the throttle. I believe they have two sizes, the larger one should help with the vibration. When I bought mine I had to order one for an Rocket 3.

| | Posted : 10 Feb 2017 - 01:11 Post title : Re: Throttlemeister (Re: Linkdog) | | | Yeah they have one for the '10-'14 bird now. But I don't think they're all that much different. The Thunderbird ones are all heavy. I saw one that didn't say which bike it was for on E-bay for like $35. I paid $160 including shipping from the manufacturer. I guess I paid $125 for the loctite.

They are much the same as Kaoko unit.
I have had both. IMO, The best one on the market is the Breakaway Cruise Control ( bit more expensive but) it is a lot easier to set and release than the Throttlemiester or the Kaoko, The breakaway also has the break cancellation feature. it is covered on Page 3 in the How to section on this forum,

IMO the Breakaway Cruise Control is ugly as a hat full of assholes and takes up too much room but that's just my opinion

| | Posted : 13 Feb 2017 - 23:33 Post title : Re: Throttlemeister (Re: PES) | | | The left side is a no-brainer, just keep a small gap between the grip to help dampen the vibrations. The right side just keep adjusting with the washers for proper function. I also had to get longer stainless bolts from the local hardware store.
