[QUOTE="jestal, post: 356845, member: 477"] OK...somebody mention cheap cruise control....??? This has got to set the bar for cheapness. Use heavy duty coat hanger wire and it is free. Takes a moment to form the circle with needle nose pliers and/or a round piece of stock nearly the same size as the grip. Make the circle a bit smaller than the grip and leave space between the two outreaching legs. Slide it on over the grip and bring the two legs together sufficiently to grab the grip as the circle tightens up and hold them together with a tiewrap. Simply slide the leg down at the desired speed with your index finger to hole the throttle and rotate the throttle back to idle when done. Even though I have an electronic cruise on the bike I leave this little throttle lock on the bike because it is so quick to use for a moment while you adjust your helmet or ???? This was the prototype. After getting it right I soldered the open ends together (I used brass welding rod) and slide a long piece of black shrink tubing over the legs to cover them. Hardly even see it. It will work with heated (or most any kind of ) grip. [IMG]https://aycu11.webshots.com/image/40090/2003737651678041925_rs.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
