Actually just talked to a mechanic about throttle boss for the iso grips today. They put 2 screws in certain places and make it so you can lock the throttle. They take off the grips though and it goes between the grip and the box. It cost about 200 for all. At least that is what they told me. They had a test throttle on the counter top and it was pretty nice. O0

That is all I know. Other people can probably tell ya more.

The Brake Away is a nice throttle lock. It works with the ISO grip and you do not have to remove the grip to install. I have one on my 2004 1300S. A little expensive, but in this case you do get what you pay for! I love mine.

I have a Vista throttle lock...it is nice, but not perfect.  It tends to have times when it looses it grip on the throttle and I will start to decele a little.  But it is still so much better than nothing.  It runs around $35 and there is no need to remove anything.  I did have to slide my brake fluid resevoir over a little.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

Brake-away.  Check out their site.  The control clicks off with a flick of the brake-lever (thus the name).  Good unit, spendy, but worth the price.

Put sugar packets between your grips and the housing for the switches.......

CouldBFaster's idea....and I think it's pretty sweet!
