Re: [ST] Throttle locks and Double Bubble windscreen

["Joe Zaccaria" <jzaccaria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As far as throttle locks go I went with the Throttlemeister.  The finish
quality is top notch and the red stripe around the circumference is
pin-stripe tape and can be changed to any color you like.

Once installed properly (you must take care to do this) the mechanism works
flawlessly.  It works by twisting the bar end in the same direction as
applying throttle to engage and the reverse to disengage.  Plenty of the BMW
boys have these as well if you like to check one out.  If your near the
Houston area I'd be happy to show you mine.
