I installed a Throttlemeister on my 2010 MTS1200 S Touring a few days ago.
For my Blackbird, and now Multistrada, a Throttlemeister is a "poor man's cruise control." Yes, there are other devices available, and if they work for you, great. Throttlemeisters aren't cheap, either, at about $150 but they're made of sturdy metal, look nice, damp a little vibration, and crash well-enough, too.
Real CC is one upside to Goldwings and assorted BMWs. I'd never tried it before a demo ride on a '10 BMW R1200RT, earlier this year: boy, was that smooth (both the bike and CC).
I wonder if they'll add this to Multis eventually. The biking experience usually requires quicker reactions to road hazards and generally better situational awareness, but IMO CC does have a time and place, especially for superslabbing.
Which brings us back to the Throttlemeister.
I ordered one direct (model AZ5, I believe), standard weight, black finish (extra $10). They were in stock. Arrived to my home in four days.
Reading the instructions, I was initially concerned due to "cut this, file that" to use their 1" plastic handlebar over-sleeve (supplied). Nah, I fit the Throttlemeister to the right grip of Multi without cutting or filing anything or even moving the handgrip. Went right on. Adjusted in about 2 min. Test rode on the freeaway, appeared to function just fine. Removed bolt, added blue Locktite, torqued to required level, "done."
Whole process took about 15 minutes. I've used it a few times on morning commutes, without issue.
If you have a use for these devices, this was an easy mod to the MTS1200 S Touring.
