New here and this may have been covered, what are you using to hold throttle grip (cruise control) in place to give the right hand a break on trips.

I have my FlipaLever set so there is just enough friction to hold the throttle. It makes it easy to make adjustments with the throttle and it still gives my hand a rest. A simple twist on the throttle in either direction is all it takes.Where I live it is not flat. As long as I have the throttle tension off my hand, I am good to go for a long time. I have an 07 Nomad.riding an 06 nomad with a throttle lock, its ok on flat country but if you have hills and running 70 mph, down hill my bike will pick up quite a bit of speed, sometimes 20+ mph on a tall hill, you might check with your steeler on throttle lock vs cruise control.
+1 on the FlipaLever. I use it on my 06 Classic. I actually like the BrakeAway, but I couldn't afford it at the time.I use a FlipaLever. It works great. Very simple to install.

HIGHWAY is correct about not holding speed up and down. I just use mine to rest my hand and not for riding for any long time period. It's a lot cheaper than cruise control and will let your hand rest.riding an 06 nomad with a throttle lock, its ok on flat country but if you have hills and running 70 mph, down hill my bike will pick up quite a bit of speed, sometimes 20+ mph on a tall hill, you might check with your steeler on throttle lock vs cruise control.
I use an o-ring for now. Slide it between the grip and the control housing and cruise. I have a universal electronic cruise control waiting to be installed but never got around to installing it.New here and this may have been covered, what are you using to hold throttle grip (cruise control) in place to give the right hand a break on trips.

Got a Vista Cruise just before my holidays this summer and made all the diff in the world. I only used it when i felt my hand fatiguing or getting numb but that was all i needed it for. Was nice to be able to switch from one hand to the other while riding.New here and this may have been covered, what are you using to hold throttle grip (cruise control) in place to give the right hand a break on trips.
