Is it a Throttle Lock ?

If so, I very much like the Kaoko friction lock, easy to use, very well made, tricky to fit with heated grips, but a Dremel and some swearing later... It certainly saves wrist ache on long stretches of road/highway.

I have one for sale in the T7 parts section.  Along with BB's that work with the Kaoko.

I have one and it slips but that I belive is due to it being a top not a bottom position. It worked really well on my other bikes and would def. buy it again. Can report back after getting the bottom position one.

I have had several kaoko throttle locks on several different bikes. They look beautiful but as for function leave a little to be desired.

The Atlas might be a better idea if it works well and doesn't slip.

I have used it on my T7 for 3 years now and I love it. It can be a bit finicky at first getting the friction pad set up but once you get it on and adjusted it works fantastic. Great design.

Kaoko for me. Done endless full days on autobahns and motorways, defo the dog's. Easy to use, aesthetically very pleasing and fool proof.

I have a Kaoko for sale in Canada if anyone is looking for one.   Posted in the For Sale section.
