With the outside of your hand you twist the TM toward you a bit while keeping normal pressure on the throttle. Then you can move your hand back to just the throttle and find your desired throttle tension and it stays there until you manually move it either forward for lower pressure (slower speeds) or back (for higher speed.) Then you can relax your hand. Even while engaged you are still in control of the throttle, you just have to manually move it back and forth until you release the TM. Glad I had it on my Labor day trip to Colorado!

Yup, this is why I have an NEP throttle lock............just a flip of the thumb and it is on or off and you can still adjust throttle settings, only costs around $15.00

That leaves a $100 for gas and lunches

Just to chime in. I have a throtte-meister on my strom. Problem was, I had after-market bars so everything didn't fit perfectly. Actually, it didn't fit at all. No problem. The guys at throttle-meister (can't remember their names off the top of my head) sent me several size nut/bolts/washers/etc. to try and match it up. I finally got the right combo. The TM guys took care of me quickly and without charging me any additional $$$. Great product and even better customer service.

If I made it sound complicated, it isn't. It's really quite simple. Can't beat the big savings though!

Nothing fancy Gaston, just replaces your bar ends. There are several washers in the kit, so you'll have to dabble a bit to get the tension just right. Too many washers, and the throttlemeister won't contact the grip properly. Too little, and it' might be too tight. Don't forget to put a dab of Loctite on the bolt when you screw it into the bar end.

I know this thread is older, but you got any pics of this setup. Where would one purchase this O ring you speak of Home Depot/Lowes/Auto Store....where would I look and what size is it?

Thanks
