There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

:2thumbs:Throttlemeister is great, I installed it on my Kuryakyn grips. I had to customize the grips a bit for it to fit, but it was worth it.

If a cruise control similar to the car cruise control, the McCruise is a good way to go.. Expensive yes.
You might check " SpoiledBiker.com for the cruise control for both the item and possible installation.
I have it installed and it works great. I had a friend assist me in the installation, but Joe at SpoiledBiker fine tuned it for me..
Just mention " Forrest in Kissimmee " when calling or email. Don't know if that will help but at least Joe will know I appreciate his assistance.. He has proved his knowledge to me.
If you need any help, give me a shout 407-520-1061, and lets get together for a ride.. Perhaps we can gather more local :spyder: peeps.

What's the difference between the standard and the heavy throttlemeister other than $17?

I believe it is just size and weight. I have the heavy as it was longer and I feel it was easier to grasp for use also with the weight some folks think it helps with vibration but that was never a real problem for me. I also like the look.

I use Throttle Rocker.
Looks like this could be combined with throttlemeister. I ordered one only $11. Does it help prevent hand ftom falling asleep? That problem vexes me even on short rides.

I have the same problem. My Throttlemeisters on the Spyder and BMW help considerably, as do the throttle tensioners on most of my vintage bikes. Anything that allows you to remove your hand occasionally, or to change the position from time to time, should help. You should also try to be very conscious of the position of your wrist. I found I was bending mine too much. I learned to grab the throttle a little over center to start, and then the wrist is straighter while riding. Other helps - gel-palm riding gloves, soft grips, and a looser grip on the bars. Also, wrist exercises and stretches taught to me at PT helped me (and my carpel tunnel) immensely. Hardly had any numbness episodes with either hand most of this summer.

I have the same problem with my hands getting a little numb in 15 minutes or so of continuous riding. My other bikes had cruise, so I could just switch it on and shake off the numbness.
I have the Kury grips with the Throttle Rocker. Helped only a little. I installed the Vista Cruise and it is exactly what I needed. Simply flip it on, shake off the numbness and flip it off. Works fine (after a few simple modifications - thanks ATTADUDE!).
Ultimately, a well designed, moderately priced integrated cruise control from BRP would be appreciated. Hope they are listening.
Good luck!!

Conventional motorcycles are designed (or have evolved) to be operated even while standing on the footrests. Dirt bikes pretty much demand that riding position. Not a necessity, but as I say, they have more or less worked well that way, so they have stayed the same. Federal law now demands uniform control placement, BTW. Too hard to control a foot accelerator standing up, or in the bumps, IMO. Brakes are not as touchy, and shifters are just stab and go. It might work, but most bikers would probably reject the notion. Besides, what do you do to accelerate a two-wheeler if your throttle foot is on the ground holding the bike up at a stop?
