Another Throttle Lock Option

jrd · 04-08-2008, 09:57 AM

If this has been posted before I apologize. A friend told me about a throttle lock that he had just put on his bike and I had never heard of it. He is raving about it and he said it works great. For $19.95 shipped I thought I would give it a try too.

Here is the page for the Metric Throttle Mate You have to call them to order.

My friend said it was a breeze to install and he was impressed with the quality for the price.

I can't tell how it works without going down and looking at my bike, but it looks a lot more like it belongs on a bike than the vista cruise that I've been using for 9 years.

Is this the one that requires drilling???

misunderstood · 04-08-2008, 11:47 AM

Please let the rest of know how it works out and post some pics, if possible. You are now the official "guinea pig"

I bought the same thing off E-Bay, AND you need to DRILL the hole in the bottom of the throttle housing out to a 1/4 hole, then rethread to hole to accept the bolt. I'm not talented enough at this point to start drilling holes in the bike. It now resides in a drawer in my garage. -Rich

This requires NO drilling. I spoke with them on the phone.

I have vista cruise , less all that hog wash. I used an exisiting screw and made a little bracket you can't see from plumbers tape (metal with holes pre punched)

I wonder how this one works? I did check the link, which still leaves me guessing.

Harley uses the same style throttle friction lock. All you do is add the lever. It works OK.

Don't have to drill BUT do have to tap to 1/4-20. Tap not included. Still probably worth the price @ 19.95 shipped.

Anyway, I ordered

jrd......Thanks for posting the link!

**Top Cat** · 04-08-2008, 05:42 PM

What dkdixie said. If you go to the link jrd provided you can read the instructions in the pic labled metric kit. It says "must be tapped using a 1/4 - 20 NC something.

macmac · 04-08-2008, 07:23 PM

Is this a screw with in a screw? The 1/4-20 holds thje device into the allow switch box, and a screw inside that screw rubs the white nylon cable holder?

Does the device had a roller ball in contact when locked?
