    One thing to watch for when using throttle locks that clamp down on the throttle is damage to the heated grip. I used a "Go Cruise" and my heated grips failed. Had to replace the grip....not 100% sure that was the cause but I tightened that throttle lock pretty tight and I am thinking that led to the failure

    The Kaoko is better than the OEM cruise control.

    My wife and I both use the GoCruise aluminum one that is adjustable. It can be used on different bars, and if it slips, you just tighten one click. When its new, I had to click it down a couple of times to get it right, rides on a wide rubber band, so doesn't mark up the grips (I have heated, with the clam shell design covers.

    I agree, instead of clicking down or up one MPH at a time, for let's say a 5 or 10 MPH change, you get good enough to where you know the exact amount of travel on the throttle to get there in a split second. The biggest mistake I've seen people who have it and have problems with it is they try and accelerate up to the speed they want THEN engage the friction which is bass ackwards. The easiest way is to get around the speed you want, engage the friction, then adjust to the exact speed.

    How is a mechanical throttle lock better than OEM cruise than can compensate for hills?
    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    The very minimal throttle adjustment required for hills, more than makes up for
    no switches
    no buttons
    no electronics
    nothing to fail

    I found it a pain in the butt to adjust for the hills. Perhaps it has to do with the severity and number of hills
