Industries 7 throttle lock

[Saluda]

For anyone into details, the one you get will not have the hazard symbol imprinted on it as shown in their picture. I guess they changed along the way.

That I-7 T-lock just reminds me of the Vista Cruise T-lock...After seeing the Throttlemate T-lock in person at the Golden Aspen Rally, I think I may switch to that one.

Does the Throttle Mate work with the Spyder??

I know of 2 guys that have the Throttle Mate and mine is on order. You do have to tap out the screw hole a bit but I was told it takes all of 5 mins. I'll see if I can get my buddy to post any ohter details. (Hey Sean!)

You could call the company as I know he has spoken to them a couple times. So they are now familiar with the Spyder and what works.

That's funny, because when I was talking to them at the Golden Aspen Rally, they had no idea what a Can-Am Spyder was and kept saying it won't work on sportbikes...I just wanted to see exactly what this thing was and how it worked in person. It worked close to what I had guessed...a threaded length of hardware with a tapered end presses against the valley of the throttle cable pulley. It threads though a tapped hole in the underside of your throttle assembly, the one that holds that metal strap between the 2 cables in our case. It's threaded into the throttle assembly to a close tolerance to the pulley, so when you thumb the little lever forward, it presses againt the throttle cable pulley holding the throttle in that position.
:2thumbs:Several things I liked about it right away, no space on the throttle grip lost. Throttle locks clutter the looks, while throttle mate is out of sight. Most throttle locks aren't really secure or flex so you have to keep fiddling with the throttle and lock to adjust the speed. Throttle mate is secure and rigid, throttle tube did not move once set. Very affordable, aside from the O-ring or neoprene sleeve sleeve trick, it's under 20.00. The only thing I like better is the Throttlemeister, but it's about another 150.00.
:dontknow:I guess the Spyder would use the metric version, but if your friends had to tap it maybe it's standard?

If you look at their thottle lock you will see it the same as this one.

Universal Vista Cruise Control #1893

I bought a Vista Cruise and modified it so it works with the Spyder and is out of the way from all your switches. It's working great for me. :doorag:

Lamonster what kind of modification did you have to do to get the Vista Cruise to work with the spyder and not cover the front? I want this for my spyder!

Just had to file a little lip off and drill a hole in the side and run a screw into it.

throttle mate

after reading i called throttle mate, all i had to do was take out the screw between the throttle cables and measure how deep the hole was, about 7/8 inch and they knew which model to send.
there is a money back guarantee. according to their info it should take about 15 min. to install. thanks for the tip i will let you now how it works.
i ordered mine today.

Yeah what he said! Hopefully I'll get to test it Sunday and I'll post a review after.

7/8 for the spyder, the 1 inch will be too big.
