Breakaway throttle lock

gshep · 01-11-2008, 02:29 PM

This may be on the wrong forum, but question is not really mechanical, so here goes.
Has anyone here installed the " Brakeaway" throttle lock on Kury Iso Grips?
I know the new ones are supposed to work but I ain't into " supposed to" especially at $200 bucks.

Shep,
I installed the Breakaway over my Kury's with no problem. Had to really soap them up with dish washing liquid, but it worked. I've enjoyed using the breakaway for over two years.

The cost is pricey, but in my opinion, it's worth it.

You'll love the convience of resting your throttle hand. I know I do.

I just installed one of the cheaper ones (manual type) on my bike about a weei ago..and man... not sure how I did without it!! As for sliding it onto the grip... the method I used might be useful for you Shep when you install yours. I used water instead of soap/water, but either will work, but I used a water bottle (like the kind you refil w/ a pull top...jogging bottle..etc) and once I put the ring onto the grip...placed the bottle lip against the ring and pushed it to slid the ring all the way to the base. It worked pretty good. Just a suggestion that might help a little.

Hopefully I will be able to try out your suggestions next week. The liquid soap is an old trick with rubber I learned while rebuilding Model T Fords. Many grooves for rubber seals and such on the old cars

Sweet looking Model T!!

Finally got around to installing the brake-a-way throttle lock.
Easy installation, but took a few minutes to get it adjusted correctly. A well made piece of gear all CNC machined and polished. Looks good works great, highly recommended.
BTW, getting it over the ISO grips was no problem.
