Cruiser speed at no cost, effective and simple

[viper]

ive just had a look at his youtube channel and there is another video of exactly where his death bolt actually goes into the throttle, it looks to me as if it grips onto the actual cable or at the very least the bolt is rubbing against his cable, thats asking for a broken cable in time , probably just at the moment  when you are attempting an overtake.

MG, i know that we can be a tough crowd on you at times, but seriously dude , youve gone too far with this one !
his post should be removed , before some idiot copies him and kills them selves and one of us as well,

still think its a good idea mecki ?

MG, I agree with the majority of others on here, I think its a dangerous idea.

However a similar feature does exist in plenty 1960s -70s machines where a small threaded bolt with locknut, usually located  under the throttle action, exists, it was designed to provide friction to the throttle action, and thereby allow the throttle to stay  open when the rider was using his/her hands for giving turn signals. so its not such a radical idea after all.

I think that its potentially a dangerous modification on today's high powered machines

My right hand controls two things, the throttle turn and one other movement i could not possibly mention on a family site.

cruise control on a motorcycle should only be designed and fitted by the manufacturer at the factory and should automatically cut off when the rear brake or front brakes or the clutch is disengaged. my car as cruise control, and as soon as the brakes are applied or the clutch is disengaged it automatically cuts the cruise control off some cruise control have "Adaptive cruise control" which monitors the road ahead using a radar sensor and adjusts the speed of the vehicle to keep it at a safe distance. anything that's holds your the throttle open by means of a screw which needs to be manually loosened "even slightly" to shut of the power on a motorcyle is potentially lethal it will only take a momentary lapse of concentration and your "history" so that idea is defo a  for me there is a very simple and very cheap solution to relieving aching wrists and numb fingers on longer motorway riding just get yourself one of theses..

They fit the same thing on BMW's at work, and I have never worked out why. They are only used to wind your mates up by winding the throttle back when their in the cafe for when they start up.

For my ten pence worth, I have really been trying hard to save fuel and will sit at 55 mph on the motorway going home from work at midnight and it is so boring and tiring on the hands. I'd be quite happy to use an item like this when safe to do so. I think you have all forgotten  that its the clutch that controls the motorbike speed not the throttle. You pull that clutch in and it doesn't matter what the rev's are on you won't have any drive.

I think the bolt could be ground down to an almost point so there is less friction taking less to turn it back if needed.

99.9% of the time it may work just fine and there may be no problems at all. It only takes one occasion though to let you down and then its too late, game over! 

[viper]

my main issue is that the bolt is gripping against the throttle cable and thus wearing it away over time

The bolt is never to touch the cable ... that slot in the butterfly, see movie.

don't mean to be negative about your idea but I think there is a safety issue here. you took your hand of the bars now you may have just been showing that it works, but won't this encourage you to remove your hand from the bars more often. now I don't know about you, but I have lost count of how many times have run over a small hole in the road or a stone or just a uneven road surface and I remember saying to myself.. thank god it was not when I was lifting my visor up or scratching my nose or bollocks you need both hands on the bars at all times and anything that can discourage you from keeping both hands firmly on both bars is a bloody bad idea at work I also ride the b.m.w rt1200 and it as a similar cruise control set up and I prefer not to use it for the same reason.
