    I had a breakaway on my FJR, G/F has one on her Scout. We both had the same issue, it wouldn't hold steady. If you got it to hold a steady speed, then it was hard, near impossible to get it to lock. Something that cost that much shouldn't have any issues. They're been on the market for several years, they should have the bugs out long ago. I tried to call Mfg. 3-4 times, always had to leave a message, never a return call.
    My $25 one works okay for a few miles, get a little break. My Kury throttle rocker works good.

    I've used the Breakaway unit for almost 5 years on my F6b with no problems whatsoever. It holds position until I move it or release it, and is very easy to turn. Just got to adjust it properly.

    Travelor, do you have the B with the heated grips? If so, do you have ISO grips?

    No, I have the standard grips. I know Breakaway says it not to use their product with the heated grips but I think some people have done it. But not really sure.

    I have an Atlas throttle lock and it works like great. I have heated grips. The wire comes out of the bottom of the grip so I went with a top mount. I really like it and have no issues with it yet.

    The stoichiometric mixture for a gasoline engine is the ideal ratio of air to fuel that burns all fuel with no excess air. For gasoline fuel, the
    stoichiometric air–fuel mixture is about 14.7:1 i.e. for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air are required. - Wiki
