Kaoko Throttle Control for R3

[tazoom]

For Information: bought the Kaoko Throttle Control for my 06 R3. Realized when I went to install that there was a slight problem...I have changed to the classic handlebars and the ends are different from the standard bars. Got back with Adventurer's Workshop, they contacted Kaoko, and they are supposedly working on a new control for the classic bars.

The end of the standard bar is flush with the throttle grip. The classic bar has a central protrusion about .5" out and in diameter that inserts into the end-weight.

If you want a great cruise control for your Rocket, I used the Breakaway model and it is top shelf quality and easy to use. I used it with Kuryakyn grips.

Cruise is nice on long trips to give throttle hand a stretch to help on fatigue. 8)

Now in big countries Mr Leicester, we have what are called straight bits. Some can be so long you get bored and start drinking, playing round with the female pillionms, racing off HD riders, or just plain go to sleep.

To overcome the death like rigarmortis bought on by hours of straight road we need a bit of occupational therapy.

Now I understand mad dogs and englishmen are in some way similar but when you discover on your next world trip a ,,,"straight bit!!" we advise only short space of time in the sun and/or sitting motionless in the rocket saddle.

Does this explanation suffice or do other "stright bit riders" need to explain too!

Aah - straight bits - I've heard of those.

Sounds boring, like racing round in circles like big girls on pushbikes.

Anyone been on this road? If you can guess which road it is I will buy you a beer at Biketoberfest '08.
