consensus on throttle lock?

[RickJ]

I have used the throttlemeister on my last two motorcycles. Works well for me and is invisible.

As I said- it seems to look nicer . You find it locks easily? With gloves? I hate to admit that I's sacrifice some function for looks- in fact it's embarrassing, but true- so I'll own it!

Your worried about looks?
Uh hem, who is going to notice it at highway speeds when you will be using it?

BIGLRY,
I also use the O rings with the Omni Cruise.
It is almost a must with those kinds of throttle locks.

The ideal gadget for cruise control is the "Mc Cruise" but I just couldn't justify the cost plus the time to install it. The Brakeaway is also expensive but a very nice system that shuts off with the application of the front brake. This feature is unique to the Brakeaway but to me is worth the extra cost.

Well, It's the total "package" I'm not "worried" about looks, but for me it is part of the equation. There is a whole aesthetic around form and function and I usually come down on the side of function, but there are times I also want something to look good- I love this bike, and it's appearance- parked or moving- is part of it. The lock is just for an occasional hand stretch when various aches occur...so I'm sure that I'll get used to whatever peculararities the thing has- as long as it works....oh, and looks goood

I was messing with you Rick.
I understand your way of thinking.
I know people that are probably 10 times worse than you could ever be.
As far as the looks,truthfully people just don't notice it.
I have my Omni Cruise with bright yellow Caterpillar seals on both sides of it.
I had 6 people walk up on me asking questions faster than I could answer.
Not one in about 15 minutes of looking it over said a word about the Omni Cruise.
These motorcycles are like a piece of artwork when no one has seen them before.

I've tried most of them at one time or another, and I still prefer the BrakeAway.

I agree! The BrakeAway is as close to a true cruise as a mechanical one can get...you can make minute, extremely small movements of the throttle, keeping a constant speed. A bit tedious to initially set. It is top quality.

Anyone use BrakeAway with OEM heated grips?

If so, any tips, feedback or things to be aware of?

TIA

Mine has heated grips...no problem with interference.
