RE: Throttle Lock

I had one. A plastic one. It worked but after a while, I just found it easier to turn the lil adjuster.
But they do work.

RE: Throttle Lock

Looks like you could set it up so as you closed the throttle your right index finger would release the lock.

RE: Throttle Lock

Got one of those,use it all the time. Polish it before install and mount it turned in so it doesn't get in the way of your thumb when twisting the throttle. Set it so the range of motion available will barely lock the throttle so you can still twist the grip to adjust the speed. Great on a road trip.

Good Luck

RE: Throttle Lock

Been using one on my softail for a couple of years. Works fine and really gives you a chance to rest your hand. The only 'bad' news is they're only $12.95 from http://www.throttlemate.com/
