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?

    Between my G/F & I, we've tried 10 - 12 different throttle locks (all manual, non were electric) & haven't found a single one that will hold the throttle at whatever speed we set it. They all slow down. Priced from $25 to over $200, none hold for more that a minute or so...… I hope you have better luck than we have.
    Get yourself a MC Cruise. It works better than a Goldwing factory cruise.

    I have not used the MC Cruise, but I have installed three of the Rostras (One on my F6b, one on my R1200GSA, and helped scottydi put one on his F6b). For around $200, they're hard to beat. On the F6b, I did splurge on the OEM 2015 right grip controls so that I could have factory buttons, so that added a bit more to the $200 though.

    There is an excellent write-up on our sister forum for the Valkyries that was super-helpful. Hopefully no one minds me posting it here for folks to refer to. If it's an issue, by the way, let me know and I'll remove the link...

    https://www.f6cforum.com/forum/12-ho...l-my-bike.html

    I also learned a few things along the way as well. If anyone else is working on the project, I'm happy to help any way I can.

    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
