O-Ring Cruise Control
I heard that you can use some sort of Caterpillar O Ring for a cruise control between the weight and grip.... is this so, does any one know what size and where to get it... or any other suggestions?
Thanks |

I've got the Kaoko throttle lock on mine. Not exactly "cruise control", but it works for giving your hand a break.

Yea, Ive heard of that but I heard about this O Ring idea which is a lot less expensive and works well

It works great! Just did the IBA 1,500/25hrs and it saved my hand. That might have been the single piece of equipment I could not have done without. And for less than $5.

O-Ring
My grip was pretty close to the bar-end and the O-Ring would not fall into the gap, so I ended up grinding off the corner of the bar-end (about 1/8 of an inch) so it fits in easier.

O ring was good, but I found the Go-Cruise to be a better alternative. Much easier to engage/disengage.

I`ve had something similar on my 1100GS for six years. It doesn`r fit all the way in, but what does fit does the job well. Very handy on long rides as I only need a light grip on the `bar, and can take my hand completely off without the bike slowing down.

Don't get hung up on "Caterpillar."
I did find that Ace Hardware has better selection than Home Depot.

Go Cruise works for me so far.
