throttle lock

Here's one that a friend of mine just installed that he says works well...

I have a Throttlemeister on my 04 Roadster. Do not care for it at all. It really is not an "instant" on/off IMO it is a friction lock that sets the desired drag on the throttle . Again 'opinion' but too me cumbersome to use ? They do however make a nice looking bar end .
I like the looks of that 'Atlas' model....I think that may become a new addition !

check out Bob's BMW wrist rest, I like it better than the Throttlemiester.
Nothing wrong with the Throttlemeister. Adjust it properly so you have a minimum amount of turn to engage. Either remove a washer or two from the inside or adjust the right handlebar controls back towards the throttlemeister and it can engage properly. Bar end weights are a plus on these oilheads. The wrist wrest works oK when on the highway at speed but you have to turn it out of the way when around town or get used to having your right wrist at an odd angle.
I find that any of the handlebar type throttle locks are just temporary devices that let you rest your right wrist for a bit so use whatever one works for you. Not really any better, just different. The wrist rest does work well but it is not a throttle lock.

Bob's Wrist Rest
Bob's Wrist Rest works well, $65, stupid simple to install, very well made, solid, and also functions as the bar end weight it replaces. I uses the same M8 hex screw that holds the stock weight on. I use it with a very old version of a "cramp buster" that has a screw tightening the device around the throttle, doesn't move.
