The Flipmeisters 50 cent Throttle Lock is what started Flipmeisters Specialty Products back in Nashville at the Taliban 8...
I'm' sure Britman George and Dennis will remember that. Most likely Rusty too.
There should be step-by-step instructions somewhere on this site, It was posted long ago but I'm sure they are around plus, there are pictures in my album of the install.
50 cents is actually an inflated figure, it actually costs about 20 cents for the rubber washers at WallyWorld.
The 50 cent throttle lock put on an old Captains bike in the parking lot and me peering at Pianoman's fancy stainless steel brakeline clamps and saying to myself... 'Flip you have the machine tools and the knowledge to make this stuff yourself, make it better and less costly than what's out there now'...and here I am.
I finally exchanged the washers on my Classic. The ozone got to them and they got brittle.
Remember, to adjust the tension, simply loosen the clamp screws that hold the twist grip assembly in place. Moving the assembly back, increases the tension, forward decreases the tension. I like mine in a neutral (no spring force exerted) on the throttle.
At least on the Rocket (and maybe any bike with bar ends) immediate release of the throttle lock can be achieved by simply twisting the bar end slightly.
Finally, when you shut the bike off, remember to close the throttle fully. It's bad for the TPS to sense a partially open throttle upon startup. It can send an error code to the ECU. Just use common sense, we all have that.
I can't bring myself to spend a hundred bucks (or more) on a Kaco or Throttlemeister when mine does the same thing for almost nothing.
Remember..... Bling for less is my motto.
