midnight61 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 seeing the thread below about handlebar grips made me decide to share how i fitted my vista (throttle lock) with you. ...the kit comes with a handlebar clamp that fits the other side of the brake master cylinder (i didnt use it), and a 'crossbar' thats supposed to fit over the switch gear (i didnt use that either)...because i couldnt make either of them fit in a way i was satisfied with, after 90 mins of trial and error. instead i made a small 'L' shaped bracket and fixed it to the phillips screw just underneath the top throttle cable on the front of the switchgear. i fitted the slip ring that goes over the twistgrip the wrong way round , i also fitted the 'cam/thumb lever' the wrong way round, its meant to be on the back of the switch gear facing the rider, mines more on top and facing forward, but not in the way of the brake !, i can set the throttle lock by pulling the cam lever back with my index finger(admittedly its not perfect), but then again...your not gonna set it unless your on a long straight road, i can then just flick it off with my right thumb when i'm done with it very easily. Also, the throttle lock isnt adjusted up 'tight', what i mean is, i can still close the throttle with the lock engaged if i had the need too. This method works for me, and it's not in my way in normal riding, nor does it affect throttle 'sensitivity' in normal riding. hope its of interest to some of you
