What is the best throttle lock to buy

[PaddyO]

It is a big job with a lot of parts. The instructions were good. The most difficulty I had was adjusting the throttle. What I ended up doing was backing off both adjusters at the throttle, then equally tightening them until reaching the right amount of slack in the throttle. The other thing to be careful of is when lowering the tank, to make sure the throttle control cable that goes into the Cable Interface Unit does not get pinched by the tank.

Yes, IF what I wanted to hear! All my Harley’s had a simple dial that put tension on the throttle. Very effective. adjusted properly

That’s

Good advice, thank you!

BTW...I have mentioned this in another post, but with the BrakeAway you do have to turn down the shoulder of the grip to a flat surface. I believe it needs to be somewhere around 0.850 in diameter. This is the recommendation from maker. You may get by somehow without doing in but it works better if you do. I'm not sure if you need to do this with another aftermarket grip.

I did this to mine and I have done it for a few other people on the forum as well. Most have just have bought another grip for their bike and shipped it to me. I don't charge to do it, but shipping it back and forth does run $7.20 each way priority mail. You can do it yourself by spinning it on a properly position deep well socket fastened to a block of wood held against a belt sander. Done properly, it will be perfectly round and smooth yet with a nice gripping surface.

Hi, does your lock offer a tension that’s adjustable? Meaning just enough to hold it in place and still be able to twist it easily?

Yes it will hold tension but easy to adjust speed.

I just installed a BrakeAway throttle lock on my 2011 R3T and it works great. Very high quality and looks great. It took me about 20 minutes to install. Just be careful not to drop any of the small screws, they are hard to find and they do not include any extras in the package. I was able to find the one I dropped while trying to get it started in one of the holes.
