I ordered the Kaoko well over a month ago, just got an email from Twisted Throttle, it shipped today.
I have been using the Caterpillar O-Rings, they do give some resistance to the return spring, but not quite the same as a throttle lock type device.
After I get it installed, I'll follow up and let you know how it works.
....Had a bit of a delay getting this installed, the product I received was a used RMA product. It was an incomplete product and not usable.Originally Posted by F6B1911
I think they just repackaged it and sent it out. The package top had 10 staple holes in each corner, apparently they opened it at least 5 times hoping to get the right parts in the package. So I did not feel comfortable trying to get that resolved.
So I did a search and purchased it elsewhere, this one came in brand new in a brand new package.
The install went much easier than I anticipated, the existing handlebar weight came out without issue, just had to make sure the two tabs were depressed at the same time. I did have to use the existing screw that holds on the bar end weight to pull the assembly out of the handlebar.

Initially I picked up a screwdriver and was going to use that to remove the bar end weight screw, but before I damaged anything, I thought it may be wise to use a # 3 Phillips bit.
I put a # 3 Phillips impact bit into my screw gun, and it came out perfectly without any damage to the screw. I'd highly recommend the larger bit if you ever need to remove the bar end weight screws.

All in all, the install was rather simple, it took all of about 5 minutes.
And yes, it works just as I had hoped.
Yup,, removing the end-weight is the 'hard' part,,, (Great pic of the 2 little 'tabs' on the weight that must be disengaged from slots in the bars to remove)
Installing the Kaoko is super EZ,,,
