Don't get me wrong I think the Brakeaway throttle lock is an excellent product and their customer service is great.

My issue is this. I go out to the bike the other day and find a nice chip in the paint of my tank:mad::mad::mad::mad: Having strapped my 14 year old son to a Polygraph and determined it wasn't him playing hockey or some such, I gave up and applied some touch up paint. The very next day, the bike is parked at work and I see evidence of missing paint ... WTF (why that's funny) I said.
It was then that I relaized it is the !!@@*&!!#ing Brakeaway bracket hitting the tank at full right lock on my steering.
Anyone have a Brakeaway and has had (or not had) this problem. I can't figure out what to do to stop it. Is there anyway to limit the steering?

Cheers

Haven't had a chance to look too closely yet and I'm not sure if I can get enough clearance by simply rotating the bars buy if I can I will. If not I guess risers are the answer:rolleyes:

Any recommendations on risers? Anyone have some they want to give away?:)

Thanks guys
 
Slightly cheaper at Cruiser Customizing. It sucks I have to spend $160 to make the throttle lock work but I suspect the side effect will be more comfort. I had risers on my VTX and it was amazing the difference they made.

Thanks again guys
 
"Polygraph" pour guy. :eek: Guess what you get to look forward to when you get old?

Try the risers anyway you will probably like them.
 
This is not meant as a joke but if you lock the handlebars on the opposite side there is no chance of it coming close to the tank........;) just turn the bars left and lock it in that position.........Im not sure but I think you can lock left or right....good luck
