Go Cruise/2wheelride GCA1bk Universal Throttle Lock

Useful for non cruse bikes

The media could not be loaded.  Having two hands free to make adjustments - or just stretch - is wonderful on long trips. Just realize the difference between "Cruise Control" and "Throttle Lock." It doesn't lock in your speed in mph, it keeps the throttle set in one position. Even if you don't realize it, you make hundreds of minor throttle adjustments all the time when riding. On a flat road, you can expect to set the lock and keep going the same speed... if you start going uphill, you will slow down, or downhill, you will speed up. You will also have to twist-down the throttle. It doesn't just 'unlock.' You twist the throttle, push the throttle lock down to where it meets the brake lever and that pressure keeps the throttle in that position (once tension is adjusted properly). To 'unlock' you have to twist down. With all of that in mind, it is great on long trips.... or cold trips... where you can let go and shove your hand in the engine for warmth.

I gave this item 4 stars because it works well, but has a small rubber band, and the Throttle Control will slide to one side or the other after a few uses. I bought a bicycle inner tube at Wal-Mart, cut the tubes to make small bands, and put a band on each side of the band that comes with the Go Cruise. This keeps the Go Cruise from slipping off the band.

The grips are chrome and smooth, so I was afraid it either wouldn't stick, or would mark the surface up. Either way would have been bad.I'm happy to report it works pretty great. It ships with a silicon/rubber black band about 3/4 inch wide. You can see I also have the Kurakyn throttle boss attachment. The rubber was a little tight to squeeze around my throttle boss, but it went with no problem so if you don't have something like that in the way, you should have no problem installing the silicon/rubber ring.Installation really easy. (See attached video).VIBRATION:I'm writing this review after taking a 1,000 mile long 4-day journey with the Go Cruise attached. It worked out really well. One question often mentioned was whether it held up well to vibration. Keep in mind I have a Suzuki Boulevard C50T cruiser... it's a fuel-injected, shaft driven bike, so it doesn't have the constant vibrating rumble of a 1800cc Harley. Having said that, it worked fine for me. Does it slip a little here and there? Sure it might. I just tightened the thumb screw a little more until I found the sweet spot. I wanted it tight enough not to slip but not so tight that it would mar my grips. I think it works fine for me. If you tried to run it for 50 miles, you'd probably get some slippage, but you're never going to do that.This is a throttle lock, not a cruise control, so unless you happen to be on some super-flat stretch of Kansas, you're going to accelerate/decelerate too much going up and down hills to leave it unattended for more than a mile or three. I did try it out on a 100 mile trip to Raleigh, NC and at one point I rode for about 20 miles without ever touching the throttle except to bump it up on a slight hill now and then.I'd imagine if you had the harder rubber grips instead of my chrome grips, the Go Cruise would probably really be even MORE solid for you. What little slippage I did feel at first was because it was too loose, and again I have it on a smooth chrome grip, so I've got more polished surface to deal with than most people will.Overall I'm very pleased with the performance for what I paid for it. There are five of us that ride together. After having it for about 10 days, two others bought the same thing after they saw mine. I was going to save for the Kurakyn bar-end throttle lock, but that costs 3 times as much and would require me to remove my throttle boss and I've really become attached to that little device.Just get it. You won't be sorry.

I own 2004 Kawasaki ZX6-R 636 for those familiar with the bikes you will know that it is a sport bike and what it comes get with these bikes is a lot fun at the cost of fatigue of different parts of your body. In my case it was right hand going numb to the point it was hard for me to hold throttle. I decided to get cruise control for my bike just so I can let my hand rest here and there making longer rides more bearable.I decided to buy this little unit since reviews were great and other brand i was looking at was $15 more (Omni Cruise) .When I unit arrived I put on my bike and off I went next day for 200 mile ride.This unit work great when it did. I first set my bike to go 60mph set cruise on and it worked like charm. I was sold but then next few times I tried to use it during same trip I encounter different problem everytime I tired to set it up it would hold speed for a moment then my speed would slowly start to drop 1 mph every 10-15 seconds. I thought maybe its not tight enough try tightening more no change then I decided to take off rubber ring that comes with it attach it directly to my handle grip still same story. I tighten even more to the point I was afraid it would be too tight and I won't be able to disengage it in time if I have to slow down or stop. I came to conclusion that vibrations are the problem. There is no rubber on bottom of cruise control to absorb it therefore it starts to slowly loosen itself.Another problem I found is the way you have to use your thumb to engage GO Cruise. There is really small part at the end of it to push it forward with your thumb which makes it hard to do it if you have it tighten down pretty good It would be better if this was little bigger like the one (Omni Cruise) has.It the end this product did partial job for me. I was trying to return it and go with Omni Crusie but I don't want to pay for return shipping so I guess I will hold on to it and improve it on my own hopefully making better.

I have a 2019 Honda Africa Twin DCT and I installed the extra friction ring. No matter how tight I tightened the adjustment wheel, the Go Cruise 2 would not hold my throttle at one set point. My bike would steadily lose speed as I rode. The aluminum costruction is nice and it is easy to put on and take off, but it won't hold a setting.
