Are there any Cruise / Throttle controller for the FZ6

[Thatguy331]

Looking for a Cruise control / Throttle controller device for the FZ6, sure would make long rides easier on my right hand.

Anyone have any suggestions on products?

Thanks!

Try these guys...
Throttlemeister Motorcycle Cruise Control

My ex had one for his R1, and loved it for longer trips. They do make one for the FZ6 - I'll be ordering one next month...

are those actually cruise control or just hold the throttle in place when set?

It holds the throttle in place

Yeah, thats all I'm looking for, nothing too fancy (or expensive)

I got 'em on mine, and they're quite nice.

thats what i thought, still not bad though for long trips, my old bike was carburated and had a choke, if i pulled the choke while in 6th gear it would cruise at 40 MPH, so it was good on the secondary highways where 35-40 was the speed limit to use that to sit back and stretch, adjust my gloves and such (anything that used my right hand) while riding.

that sounds a lot more dangerous than it seems...

Hmmm, the Throttlemeister is ~$120.

I found another product BrakeAway that retails for ~$200 which looks a little nicer and seems a lot safer...

I wonder if there are any other options for the FZ6?

I used one of these on a 400-mile ride a couple of weeks ago and it helped quiet a bit.

I didn't see an FZ6 application on their site ...
