and Go-Cruise is the best option IMHO.
I gotta agree. A Vista-Cruise has prevously adorned all my bikes and it worked very well. Then it came time to put one on my ST and it would need a touch of cobbling to work- NBD. I saw all the accolades here of everybody's fave.
At the last MC show to grace San Mateo (so some years back) I saw this Go-Cruise that had been talked about and it was available for a show price.
The thing is a marvel of minimalist engineering and efficiency. It can be activated and deactivated with a finger or a thumb with no need for both.
As has been stated many times in many threads of the same subject it has an advantage that none of the other throttle locks have. Once set a rider can accelerate for passing or ascending a hill as though the lock weren't engaged. After said maneuver(s) is/are accomplished just release your grip on the throttle and it goes right back to the position selected – no need to reengage.
That is so intuitive I didn't realize I was doing it until that feature was pointed out awhile back by dduelin–
Holy moly he's spot on! It's that slick.
Of course in an emergency you can roll the throttle off with no interference from the Go-Cruise just like most if not every other throttle lock.
Everybody has their preference and that's certainly not up for arguement. You like what you like. In a head-to-head side-by-side objective scientific comparison subject to peer review though– there isn't a more efficient versatile throttle lock made. At least at this point.
Granted the efficiency delta isn't huge and maybe not even noticed or appreciated by many/most. But I love mine and it can be transferred to another bike in 2.5 heartbeats or 1.75 NY minutes. And it's certainly inexpensive enough that affording say– four for four bikes is no financial hardship.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
