Bobo, I did try the Breakaway cruise control on my bike, that does have the Kuryakyn Black Iso grips, and I was not pleased, so I did return the item...which they do charge a 25 % return fee. Other riders may have had a better experience, but I tried to make it work with the Iso grips, and was not happy. :icon_frown:

miles what type of problem did you have, did you use the breakaway cruise p/n 5cpo2 and is there any modification that you have to make to hook it up..........bobo

There is a alternative to the Break Away! The Adjustable Go Cruise Throttle Lock may fit your grips.

Here's the original thread regarding the Go Cruise!

I love my "Go Cruise":yes:
easy to install, easy to adjust and easy to use with gloves on, another plus IMO it looks like OEM on my Black F6B.
I did find I needed to adjust my 'pull to open' throttle cable free play as it came from the factory a tad to loose for me, I know Honda likes them loose and I understand why, but as long as I'm getting a complete closure of the throttle body butterfly when letting off the throttle and no pulling on the throttle cables or change of RPM in a right to left lock to lock of the handle bars, all is good.:clap2: I want no play in my pull open throttle cable. I do tend to run a little more slack is in my 'pull to close' cable.

I better get back on track here...the loose throttle cable had no effect on how the "Go Cruise" performed and was just something I would have done anyway.:icon_cool:
I also run the ISO black grips over the OEM heated grips and had no issues with the "Go Cruise" install.
As throttle locks go...."Go Cruise" does that just fine... at a price that is hard to beat.:2cents:

Some additional info on improving the Go Cruise Throttle Lock. A simple and effective way to improve the performance/function of the GC with rubber o-rings!

Also, to increase tension on the original GC, run a small black zip tie through the largest hole and down under the lower 'arm', Cinch to 'tighten'.

Friend had a Breakaway on his VTX,,, Took a while to get it all dialed in, but seemed to work good thereafter. He was happy with it. (Why wouldn't he be happy? I installed it AND dialed it in for him!!!! :icon_doh:)

Me? Imma cheap bastad!!! Cheap and EZ!! :icon_biggrin:

Bobo, I had a difficult time getting the BreakAway cruise to fit correctly, and getting it dialed in, and I beleive this was all due to the larger diameter of the Kuryakyn Iso Grips. The BreakAway cruise is not designed to fit that large of diameter of a grip. After I returned it, I did buy the GoCruise like others ohave mentioned here. While I "thought" I was buying the adjustable one....it turns out that Riderwearhouse (Aerostich) sent me the non-adjustable one, and it has worked very well with the Kuryakyn Black Iso Grips. Because the Iso Grips are a larger diameter grip, the non-adjustable GoCruise...in Black...fits snugly onto the grips of the Iso Grips, using the supplied rubber band. It is not really an O'ring, it is more of a rubber band. It loks great on the Black Iso Grips, and works very good. For me, this resolves the need for a cruise. Yes, I loved the electronic cruise on a regaular Wing, but....given that we do not have that, this works very well.

I rarely take my right hand off the throttle, and do not use a cruise control in the usual sense. I only take my right hand off if I need to reach for something, or adjust something, that cannot be done with my left hand. For a $ 20.00 cruise control...or technically...throttle lock, the GoCruise works very well.

miles thanks for the reply, i have the none adjustable go-cruise found it slipped when activated so i drilled a hole through it and installed a screw to tighten it to the band on the grip solved the problem but i still like the breakaway control the way it works, but kind of a bit expensive to experiment with. I might order the new adjustable go-cruise............bobo

I have the throttle boss lever on the Kury grips. This combination works very well and have wondered if I could repeat the same on the F6B.

Same here. I have the Kuryakyn grips that accomodate the heated grips and they are an even larger diameter. Nothing seems to be available, not even Kuryakyn sells a throttle lock that will fit their own grips.:icon_frown:

Well I bought a standard so I don't have the heated grips. Thought about adding them, but that seems to complicate other possibilities like you mentioned. Right now, I'm wondering if the Kury grips can be used with the Kaoko throttle control and their throttle boss. that seems like it would be a good combination if possible.

I have the break away cruise control on my F6 and I love it and would not buy anything else...I don't have two many hands left and I don't have time to mess around with a thumb screws:stirthepot: Its lock it and forget it:icon_biggrin:
