i will be getting one of these super soon for the connie and the SV. one question do i get the smaller one for the connie?
Tip for those installing a Throttlemeister: It comes with a plastic friction sleeve that inserts between the grip and the bar. It's tempting to skip that step and just let the Throttlemeister bear on the end of the grip itself but don't omit installing it, it just won't work quite right.

Another tip I read on the old forum that probably helped save my 2010 heated grips: when using the "sleeve" mentioned above, use caution and care when sliding it into the end of the grips during installation so you don't disturb the heating elements under the rubber grip. In other words, don't just jam it in there and hope for the best! My heat still works great thanks to that tip!
It took a bit of getting used to initially but IMHO Throttlemeisters work great as an inexpensive cruise control alternative...YMMV.
Throttlemeister...
I had them on my bike when I got it. Still not used to them.
I don't have a Vista on the C14 yet (did on my old ZRX a long time ago). From previous forum research it seems the correct Vista model number for the Concours is the Yamaha version, model MCVICY-P. But I am not sure it will work properly with the 2011(/2010) which have heated grips, so there is a larger lip and a wire where it would mount. Has anyone installed a MCVICY-P on a 2010/2011? Was it successful? Please share installation and use experiences and pictures.
I should have known better. Got the Vista MCVICY-P several days ago and tried to install it today. There is no way.... just no space. Guess I will have to buy a go-cruise.
You should check out the Throttlemeister Max, so far very happy with mine...

"Throttlemeister Max"
Don't see that name on the Throttlemeister website, and Google didn't find it either (in quotes). Do you have a link, or is this just the Throttlemeister Heavy (14oz)?

Steve's right: forum member ZG was responding to forum member maxtog.

I suspect Max may be the guys name he was replying to
Correct!

Changing case and shortening user names just for the confusion factor eh?
