Couple of new items out there. The Go Cruise is a clever little items that works very well and passed my cold weather test. When rubber and plastic is cold they are at their worst performance. I purposely tested the "Go Cruise" when it was 25F degrees, It applied it without any effort and held it's position for 20 minutes (the length of my test) without moving a millimeter! That impressed me, if it performs that well in the cold it will shine in the heat as well. It's made of a composite material that remains flexible in the cold and what allows it to be removed easily. I now have them on my site in both Black and Silver carbon fiber look. Comes also for fitment on 7/8 in bars or 1 inch bars. Price includes shipping US and Canada at $19.95 and $20.92 for Overseas.
**Will not work with Metal or ISO Grips** There is a video of these in action on my site: Go Cruise Video  Also have a new item: The HelmetLok, is a carabiner-style combination lock. Nice, well made convenient versatile helmet lock option. It opens outward so it is not restrictive of hooking to the handlebars or other locations. US with shipping included is $24.95, Canada is: $25.29 and International is: $27.31 http://www.fasteddysports.com/?page_id=3&product_id=868

No sorry I forgot to mention that above, it will not currently (I know someone who is experimenting)work with metal grips, needs full rubber grips to function properly.

Great idea, ed. Now, for the helmet lock-a great use of the "100mph" tape would be to protect whatever a rider loops the lock over. Or to protect paint in case the helmet swings a bit in the breeze, etc. Just another of the 100's or uses you'll fine for that product. KOF

My friend was just showing me that cruise control yesterday. Said he has been impressed and it was so easy. Cool to see you have that Eddy. One more thing for the list.  ~Brent

If you're talking about ISO's with rubber pads, the answer is YES! Got one from FastEddy and it is wide enough to catch the inside rubber pads, and it holds. Road tested it for a few miles with no problems. Easy to engage, and when you want to roll-off, theres no problem. It will follow and you back to manual control. I've been looking for something that is clean looking and works - this is it!

Mike, if you go to the first post by Fasteddy there is a link to a video.
It actually shows you how it works.

I just bought one. Looks like a good invention.
Actually if you turn a cramp buster all the way over on the inside of the throttle it will hit the brake lever. Same principle only this device looks stronger and is way better looking. Ed, didn't see anyplace to pick silver or black in your options. Musta missed, with my advanced age and condition.
I have black plastic cramp buster cut in 1/2 that does that now.

Yup. Those are the guys. I've looked at other units and they are either too short (because of the width of the control set/brake master cylinder) or look to funky. These look clean (and if your not "cruising", they fit in the jacket/shirt pocket). By the way - NICE bike!

I guess I just overlooked the vid. Looks like this would be perfect on long superslab runs, sweet! I'll be ordering one.

That's sweet for sure. This device just might get me past the fear of overriding the dead man feature... Only thing is it was my left hand that felt the effects of the Utah swing.

I almost hate to share this but most already know I have limited capacity and 0 common sense.
Ya know those plastic rods you turn to open and close vertical blinds? Set your throttle lock. Put the hook on over your clutch cable, mirror, bar etc., hold it in your left hand, let go with your right hand, lean back against your pack and or back rest.
Gently push to go left, pull to go right. Like riding in an easy chair. You rest your hands, back, arms and shoulders with one little piece of plastic.
Folks may not know it but at 70mph your front wheel naturally will track forward. The gyroscopic effects overwhelm any dampening issues when cruising.
Its only very dangerous not like suicidal or anything.
