Because I care so much for my fellow Ryker ryders, I wanted to pass along this tip.
Last summer on a trip from Indianapolis to Moab, Utah, I lost the little clear pad of my Atlas throttle lock rendering the throttle lock useless. As I had thousands of miles yet to go, this was a big problem.
So what's a guy to do?
In a Nacgyver moment, I found a section of rubber fuel line and I cut off a 1/2 inch section and then split that half inch section into two 1/2 moons. See picture.
With one of those Half Moons, I trimmed it up a bit and super blueed that in the place of the clear pad. The throttle lock then worked much better than the original. I set it and forget it. And it holds speeds for miles and miles.
For those of you with an Atlas throttle lock...
