yeah i have used this before, its pretty kool and it really works, its just piece of plastic, i would recommend it if you are going on long rides, matter of fact i think they sell them here for around 5-8 bucks not really sure but i can find out for you.......

 

for under 10$ i will have to get one! know where i might look to find one this cheap?

 

QuinC,

I have one of those (Throttle Rocker II) and it didn't work out. Plus I heard of jacket sleaves/gloves getting caught on it. I found that it is no different than riding with your palm open. I have one in my drawer I will send it to you (free) if you send me your address. But my advice is;

Get a throttle lock from vista cruise. I had to modify it for my F4i, but it is much better.

The basic mod it to cut of the knobbie thing on the vista-cruise until it is simply round. Check placement, then drill a hole in vista-cruise, then drill a hole to secure it to the throttle housing, Watch for cables on the inside, cut machine screw to lentgh, tap hole, countersink vista hole, use locktite. screw together. adjust. I ride with 4 other guys and we all have it that way.

It looks 'factory' and it works great. I use it for about 10 seconds at a time and it helps out alot.

 

thank you for the review, and saving me 15$

A few yrs ago I had grips for my xr285mod that had palm swells that resembled that same effect. I'm going to look fior them as they would be awesome on my 600f. Maybe one of the greip sites may still have them.

 

Here is the website for the throttle rocker. http://www.throttlerocker.com
I have one on my 900RR and it's great. I only use it when cruising on the highway though. I don't use it for around town, stop and go, or hitting the twisties. Only on long, straight, open highways. It does make a difference. I picked mine up at our local Cycle Gear for about $8. For that price it's worth it to try and see if it works for you.

 

I picked up a "cruise control" setup from my local cycle gear. It works great. The **** flips up to lock the throttle, but it is still able to move throttle with the cruise engaged. Probably the best accessory I've bought!
