i'm looking for someone to make me a thumb throttle for the left grip that i
could use
on occasion when my right hand needs relief. once i came across a severe
washboard gravel rd. (from pavement) at 55 mph with water on each side 15 ft.
below-
i couldn't release my grip on the handle bars to unlock the throttle lock,
the front end was so out of control i almost lost it. it seemed i needed to
set it tight inorder to keep from slipping in normal usage.

My ex adapted a thumb throttle from a junked ATV to his -mine now-
KLR650. I had it taken off by the dealer once I got the bike out of
his greedy little hands. He also adapted a hand shifter to the foot
shifter. That also came off once I kicked him out of the house.
What's so dangerous about a throttle lock?

Yes, the F650 GS Dakar, according to inside sources at the Pentagon. I
will leave the BRP to your imagination. You'll just have to come and see
for yourself.
