cruise control , throttle lock , i guess my hand could be considered a form of cruise control as well ,or maybe a throttle lock, ::)I'm confused now!lol
Nothing confusing.
A cruise control is an electronic device with which the user can set a speed and the device will maintain that speed, regardless of other factors (hills, wind, etc). It uses a motor or vacuum control to adjust the throttle dynamically based on actively monitoring the current speed.
A throttle lock is just a simple, inexpensive, mechanical device that locks the throttle to a position so it will not spring return to zero. It will not maintain a constant speed (unless no factor ever changes- wind, resistance, incline, etc). It is suitable to just giving the right hand a little rest (don't have to offer continuous resistance against the throttle spring). The simplest throttle lock is just a little rubber "o" ring slipped in the throttle tube gap. The most expensive is a bar-weight replacement that allows a quick twist to render the throttle spring disabled and hold a throttle position. The Omni device is a metal clip that grabs the throttle tube and pushes against a fixed point like the brake lever assembly.
