ST3 Owners: Throttle Lock?

[falconati]

Hello friends - do any of you use a throttle lock?  I'm toying with the idea, but would prefer to spend as little as possible (of course).  What do you use?  Throttlemeister?  Other?

Any help would be appreciated.

I came up with a way to put one of the Vista Cruise Universal locks on my 2005 ST3.  As it comes it won't work.  It took some thinking but I came up with a way to attach it and have it work properly.  I'll try to remember to get a pic or two tonight.

I have an 05 with just about 60K on it, I use a throttle rocker, no throttle lock. ST2sam jury rigged one when he had his ST3, might want to contact him. I don't ride the interstate all that much to warrant the use of one.

+1 for Throttlemeister - ST3s works great, will always have one.

Throttlemeister on ST4s.  Love the set-up.  Very stealthy.

Ok...this is a serious question regarding throttle locks, so please don't laugh.  

Has anyone tried using a simple o-ring to hold the throttle?  I've got a Throttlemeister on my FJR, but I'd like to put throttle locks on my other bikes and well, it can get a bit pricey when you're feeding a family of four bikes...

Cheers,

Joe

PS.  I'm also looking forward to seeing the pics of the Vista Cruise lock.

It's a Vista cruise that I modified with a small L shaped bracket bought at Lowes. I have it on my C14 now, it's the third bike it's been on and works great. It cost all of $20.00 and IMO works better than a throttle miester, just flip it on or off using your thumb.

Thanks for all the replies!

My question to Sam is.......why the hell is the bike in the living room Oh right! to annoy the spousal unit

Yes, some people have. I remembered something like that being a bit of a fad with Honda ST riders.  A quick search on "o-ring throttle lock" found this FAQ:   http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/ThrottleRockerFAQ.htm#Caterpillar

+1 on the Throttlemeister.  This also doubles as a weighted bar end and helps reduce the vibration transmitted into your hands.

I use a o-ring and a crap buster on my Tiger , they work pretty good

I've never had a problem with my Tigers taking craps, but hey, if you need to bust it, then go for it...
