Is there any other source for the Spyder Throttlemeister besides the manufacturer's web site? (yes I'm trying to save $). Also, has anyone compared the two different weight versions? My goal is more for vibration elimination than it is for speed control. I have read all the threads here that I could find before posting this. Thanks.

I got the regular size..black one...works great...the extended gives you more weight but IMHO, it sticks out too far and looks a little funny...then again, to each their own.

It's a great product no matter which one you go with...you'll love it and it will cut the hand vibrations down quite a bit...

I have a set I am thinking of selling GaryTheBadger. I bought them specifically for the throttle lock but I am going to switch to one of the thumb activated throttle locks like Director uses. I'll snap a few pics, come up with an asking price and I'll try to get them up in the For Sale section here by tomorrow evening.

A more "invisible" Vista Cruise... takes just a little work but worth it.

The vistacruise, while not as nice to look at, is much easier to turn on and off. The throttlemeister has definitely got it in the looks department, but if you primarily want bar end weight for vibration damping, why not get bar end weights, or a bar snake, or the bar weights with the neat y-factor logo's that BRP offers?

I've used both throttlemeister (on three bikes) and the vistacruise, and the vista cruise is MUCH easier to turn on and off.

Hey Dick, I have the Vista Cruiser lock from Industries 7. Works very well.

I suggest you keep an eye on No Magic Neons web site. I heard something today about a new product at about a 1/3 less $ than the Throttlemeister Coming Soon To A Site Near You!nojoke:yes:
