    Go Cruise Throttle Control

    Anyone else out there used one of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/271652095868?lpid=82.

    I bought one and tried it. It worked ok but I eventually went with a vista cruise and trimmed my throttle grip to fit it.

    For ease of installation and use the go cruise device is the one to go with.

    Was also wondering if anyone has tried an Omni cruise .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMNI-CRUISE-...7011df&vxp=mtr. They look better built and are more adjustable... of course they cost about 2 and half times more then the go cruise device.

    A coat hanger and rubber band does the same thing. Still have one I made hanging in the garage some place.

    Vista cruise has been tried and proven,they need adjustment from time to time. Used one on my SF11 back in 80-86.

      OK, I'm game ....

      what does the coat-hanger and rubber band configuration for a throttle lock look like, exactly?

        Bend a 14" bit of a coat hanger in the middle, bend a little at each end to hook the rubber band then put it over your throttle grip attach a heavy rubber band (like those used on bunches of carrots or the like) on the hooks and see if you have enough pressure to hold the throttle in place at speed/vibration, tighten as needed.



        I could not find my 10yr. old one so I made another out of much heavier metal from a handle for a bucket of Kitty Scoop. This actually seems tighter/better than the clothes hanger, of course it could be shaped to fit the grip better and plasti dip or shrink tube could make it look a little more right for the bike ? Lots of options !

            The go cruise

            device can be easily removed and put in your pocket so no one can decide they like it more then you. Of course with done's who would think to take it.

            not trying to advertise for this guy but what he came up with looks good and clean. check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEmMvNYEq2o
