ClassicRide2 - Another way to do it:

If you look at the pictures will notice the silver band over (around) the black body of the cruise control. I reversed this so the black body is on the inside closer to the end of the handle grip. I then Dremeled out the inside of the black body about 1/16" so it would fit over the raised part of the Kury grip. I removed the set screws, center punched the handle and drilled small holes the same size as the set screws. I then put the set screws in through the black body and into the raised part of the Kury handle. That makes it fit without ever having to worry about slipping off and you don't need to use the rubber spacers.

DIY Throttle Locks

SHOOTFIRE - Vacuum Hose Throttle Lock:

You can have one for about 30 cents. So no big deal if it turns out you don't like it.

Get about 1 foot of vacuum hose......the right size that just slips in the gap between flange on the throttle grip and the cable housing. Small stuff.....maybe 1/8" or 3/16"?

Wrap one end around the brake lever in front of that gap. Take 2 or 3 black cable ties and tie it off tightly to the brake lever. Leave plenty on the other end so as to make it easy to use. You will need a few extra inches beyond the full roundness of the grip. Trim both ends to your taste.

When you hit the road, simply pull the the rubber line down into that gap when you reach the approximate speed you like. Wrap it just a bit for a lighter friction on the throttle, or wrap it a long ways for a tighter and longer lasting setting on the throttle. You can wrap it with either hand since the throttle will still rotate just fine with it pulled down.

You can still manipulate the throttle with the hose in place, no problem.....so safety is not a big issue. Just yank it out when you approach an area that you will manipulate the throttle a lot.

When it is not in use or parked, simply poke the loose end up by housing.....no more loose end and it blends in very well then.

With a bit of use, you will become used to it. It is hokey, but it works great. I had seen folks talk about that little trick for years, but for one reason or another I never tried it. How stupid of me. It has been a Godsend in my case, as an old injury aggravates the numb throttle hand syndrome for me and was really cutting into my riding time.
