I use the Go-Cruise, I did put a black zip tie in the hole closest to the grip and under the bottom half of the lever to slightly increase the tension to stop it from backing off.

I did that too, and it helped a bit to improve throttle lock, but it still begins to gradually slip on my bike after 5-10 seconds. The zip tie also serves as a theft deterrent.

I bought a go-cruise when I first got my C-14. Used it one time and then broke it when I was going to remove it to show a friend. It said in the instructions to be careful, and I thought I was, but snapped it in two. Instead of throwing another $20 at it, I just purchased a used throttle meister. Works great and not in way.

Yeah, right.  Try riding 72 hours without getting off and then come talk to me.... ::)   No refueling either.

Actually, close to 24 and cruise control would have come in handy.

Yep, I was just commenting on my normal ride, from Pittsburgh to Iowa. Miami to Pittsburgh in one shot is fun too, not something I would do without a throttle lock or cruise control, you wouldn't be able to make a sandwich. ::)

I put a Vista Cruise on my 2011. I have used them on several bikes I have had.

Throttle lock, not cruise. And the C14 should be standard with cruise, the option to use or not use would be nice.

Many of us middle-aged guys have carpal tunnel syndrome and other stuff...  having the option to give the throttle hand a break every now and then is a good thing, not bad.
