    Hate that "Go Cruise" any members with throttlemeister experience ?

    I just put Go cruise and I really do not like it. My speed kept dropping every second. I really need something that will hold the throttle in place. Kaoko is not available. Any riders here with throttlemeister experience ?

    Hopefully I'll be adding -------- next yr but till then I need something.

    Thanks

    I had a ThrottleMeister for a few weeks, replaced it with a Kaoko and never looked back.
    Nothing bad to say about the ThrottleMeister, the Kaoko just works better, though that is a subjective statement based upon my experience.
    What's the wait on a Kaoko now? I waited almost 5 weeks for my order.
    If you're not in a hurry, go with the Kaoko, you'll be happy.

    Installed the throttlemeister on the F6B and it works fine…Had one on my FJR for 90,000 miles with no problems.
    Easy install ….

    ""Hate that "Go Cruise" any members with throttlemeister experience ?""

    Did you tighten up the thumb wheel ??? Just a thought, I had the same issue until I tighten the thumb wheel a little more...

    If you have the model w/o the thumb wheel, you can run a small zip tie through a hole/down under the bottom/back up to gain extra clamping / holding force.

    I had the GC. Great bang for the buck. Went with the Kaoko, been very happy with it ever since. (More precise adjustments, more 'integrated look' with the Kaoko)

    Google "Kaoko HND-31" for places to buy:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=kaok...oe=&gws_rd=ssl

    (Whether or not the F6B is listed as an application on each individual website is immaterial. HND - 31 is the correct part number)

    My F6 is my 3rd bike with Throttlemeisters. I'll put them on any bike that doesn't have cruise.

    I've got the Theottlemeister. It works fine for my needs...got me across the country to Franklin, though I find it keeps the speed most constant with a hand resting on it, rather than using it "hands off." Still, it does a good job of keeping your hand and wrist from getting cramps.
