Default Kaoko Throttle Control Information Needed

I know most here have cruse control on their touring bikes but what about non touring bikes? My wife really needs something besides the HD throttle lock. I found Kaoko Throttle Control in American Bagger magazine and did a search here but came up with only the Black Dog CW add which I already have. Has anyone here tried this product? I would really like to find her something to make long rides easier on her hand. She has problems with her right hand cramping. Right now she uses the HD lock and a "throttle rocker".

Thanks for any information or ideas.

Ride Safe,

Mike

You don't say what kind of bike she has, but you might check http://www.cruisemount.com

They offer a kit to use the HD cruise control on non-touring bikes. It's a bit pricey, but I understand it works well.

Sorry! She rides a 2004 Sporty 1200 custom.

Thanks for the input.

Ride Safe,

We have used the Kaoko on both a Buell Ulysses and a Suzuki Vstrom with great results.

Quality product, unfortunately there only seems to be the single source here in the states right now.

Good Luck

A lot of money... compared to what? How much do you spend on exhaust? chrome? wheels? The cruise from www.cruistmount.com is absolutly the BEST, most USABLE, accessory and the best money ever spent on my bike. Gives you a whole new attitude while riding when you don't have to fight the throttle.
