Looks good. I have been looking for C/C but haven't found anything that fits our bikes and won't break the bank.
I am considering Hot Grips heated grips, I wonder if this would fit. Is that the stock bar end?

I can't be certain it'd work with the Hot Grips, but feel free to give it a shot and we can offer a full refund if it doesn't. It is not the stock bar end. They've made the end of their bar end look just like the stock bar end. Their goal was to have the functionality we want with the least obtrusive design possible.

EDIT: Just found this;
NOTE: When turning on your heated grips there may be a need to back off the friction setting slightly due to the expansion caused by the heat applied to the throttle grip. Using heated grips with a Kaoko Cruise Control is perfectly safe.

I was looking at the Breakaway cruise control, but I am SO getting this.

Hmmm... Don't know. I would think it'd be fine, but I haven't seen the combo so I can't say for sure.

Don't now much other than the picture your websites shows is the picture Koako shows for the Thruxton version. The Kaoko Throttle Control for Triumph Bonneville T100, Bonneville, Bonneville America, Speedmaster has this picture:  Cruise controls are nice with the Kaoko version looking very sweet. Not for me, but for those who like overriding a dead man device, very sweet indeed. P.S.: Also, regarding your actual web page for the Koako, the right side red vertical bar and the red fonts are way hard to read.  Seems like my wide screen places the floating red vertical bar slap dab among the red font

He's not using CSS so he can't prevent the background from repeating along the x AND y axis. The quick fix would just be to extend the right side another 1000px or so in white.

Correct. It screws directly into the plug inside the bar.
Moe - Thanks for the corrections. Duly noted.

Brent, this looks good. Now we just need a "faux" one to go on the left grip to balance the look out.

Brent how about a 1" version of the old Vista cruise.I am talking the plastic one piece affair that they make for the 7/8" bar.I had these things on my other bikes and they worked great.They were simple and you could override it easily if needed.It was also sooooo easy to operate with the thumb.I am NOT talking of the multipiece cluster $%^& affair they try to push on people with 1" bars.The best thing they usually only run for $20-$24 on average.I have thought of buying one for 7/8" bar and reaming it out to fit the 1" bar on my Speedmaster.

Yeah, their "universal" kit leaves a bit to be desired. We'll see what we can do for ya.

 Here is a picture on a Hardley with Iso Grips. If you buy it for our bars it should work just fine.
