    I just put that in my Amazon cart; since this is the 2nd time it's been recommended, I better give it a shot.

    I *believe* it works to increase friction, thereby giving it a firmer grip on the throttle, and thereby holding speed more constantly.

But, I say use what you like.
    I liked the Throttlemeiser too. Had one on my BMW K100. Don't know if I like it $200 worth. I swear I only paid half that last time.

    Kaoko option?

    Hey folks- I have being unable to find commentary on the Kaoko throttle lock for the F6B… Can anyone advise me before I purchase this? And, will it work with OEM heated grips?
    Thx

    Throttle Control

All I can say is Billy prides himself on customer service and satisfaction..Im so happy with his device Ive made it a point to tell everyone who has wrist issues...

    I had the same exact experience. I love my Throttle lock. Saves the right hand for other urgent necessities...

    There have been quite a few discussions here on the Kaoko, use the search feature.
    I installed the Kaoko right away after I purchased my F6B. My previous bike has a friction throttle lock on it, so it was a perfect for me. It is very well make and it works perfect.
    You have to go into it realizing a cruise control and a friction lock are different approaches to the same goal.

    I appreciate this ,thanks....I ordered the Kaoko today from Revzilla and was able to locate ( via the search option) the great posts already made. I'm installing OEM heated grips first and then the K.
