Hi everyone. Got a hefty sized trip coming up next month on my 52 plate FZS600, and Im considering some "cruise control" options for the long stretches of motorway that will be involved.
Ive seen plenty of cheapie solutions on ebay, e.g.
http://r.ebay.com/nRxZRsBut then I came across something which looks much nicer, and could live on the bike permanently:
http://www.twistedthrottle.com/kaoko-throttle-lock-cruise-control-yamaha-fz1-fz6-tdm850-tdm900-xjr1200-xjr1300-mt01-black-or-silverIts a bit pricey, but I like how discreet it is and that it basically becomes part of the handlebar.
Now the problem is that its apparently for the Fazer 1000 and various other models. Kaoko doesnt seem to make anything for the FZS600, and I dont like the chances or potential costs of asking them to make one for a FZS600 in the next month.
So what Im wondering is, how different are the ends of the handle bar between the FZS600 and Fazer 1000? Are the threads that the bar ends screw in to the same? Is the construction of the throttle side of the two bars significantly different?
Perhaps someone has some other compelling reason not to get this, like "just get the cheapie one instead"?
Or maybe particular suggestions?
Will flick the manufacturer an email too and see if they have any suggestions, though I'd ask here incase someone knew something.
Thanks
