Goldwing cruise had a lag to it that annoyed me, so it wasn't very fast to setup or change speed. By contrast, my BMW K1200LT cruise reacted instantly and was much better. Throttlemeister locks the throttle but I can still very easily modulate the throttle. I bought the polished look as you can see in pictures. The other day I followed a friend on somewhat twisty country back roads and I was able to use throttlemeister very succesfully during the ride. It is easy to disengage, too. It looks like it came with the bike.

    Buy what works for you, we all have different tastes and budgets. Things that matter to me may be different for you. Ride safe!
    I tried the Go Cruise solution and it did not work for me. I just installed the Throttlemeister and so far so good.
    I have the same Baggershield windshield as you do. You sir, have good taste!

    How hard is it to install the Throttlemeister?

    I tried a Kaoko Cruise Control *throttlelock*. It required removing the throttle bar end weight which is way too much work for one person. I use a Go Cruise. If the Throttlemeister is easy to install, I'll have to order one. I appreciate your input.

    The F6B has 7/8" bars! If you order the adjustable aluminum Go Cruise it's one size fits all. If you get the plastic version you get the 7/8" size.

    The research I did told me we had 1 inch bars so I bought the 1 inch Go Cruise. It works but the 7/8 inch one might fit better. Why does bar size matter anyway when grip size is the main concern? I have those foam grip things so the 1 inch works ok.

    Where did you find the adjustable one?

    Angry How long can it take?

    Ordered a Kaoko control from Twisted Throttle.
    Looks like it will be around a month before I get it at best.
    If you are in a hurry you might just want to go with the competitors.
