Who uses cruise control?
Looking for opinions, anyone use a Go Cruise or some-such, for longer highway rides? What works well, what size did you get?

I installed these on my Yamaha c3. I have a set of soft aftermarket grips that were just about worn out. These were such a tight fit that they now lock my throttle in place wherever I leave it. The spring return is not strong enough to spring the throttle back to idle. I absolutely love it. I have a cruise control at whatever speed I want. Don't know if I would want my throttle stuck wide open on my 170i, but for my 50cc Yamaha it is great.

I use one of these on my 170i for longer rides. It's a bit awkward for stop and go travel. It does take a bit to get used to, but it is great for long rides:

found a cheap throttle assist
Bwa-ha! just tried this giant zip-tie idea I found on the internet, seems to work good so far.

You just ratchet down the zip tie, and it holds your throttle in place where you leave it?Argee wrote:Bwa-ha! just tried this giant zip-tie idea I found on the internet, seems to work good so far.
I'm doing that tomorrow!

I think the zip tie is their for leverage - maybe face it the opposite direction so your palm can press against it.DeeDee wrote:You just ratchet down the zip tie, and it holds your throttle in place where you leave it?Argee wrote:Bwa-ha! just tried this giant zip-tie idea I found on the internet, seems to work good so far.

Careful zipping your grip down too hard -- that sounds dangerous.
The red ones are faster.

Re: Who uses cruise control?
A friend uses an O ring between the outside of the flared end of the grip and the switch assembly. Puts just a slight drag on the throttle.Argee wrote:Looking for opinions, anyone use a Go Cruise or some-such, for longer highway rides? What works well, what size did you get?

I'ma fan of the throttle rockers. Cheap and useful. The GoCruise seems interesting, but I'd want to see more feedback from users before changing to something like that.
