Here are a few letters from our customers. Thanks for the support.

Throttlemeister,
 
I recently purchased a Throttlemeister kit for my 2007 Honda ST1300. I was pleased with the quality of the machining
of all of the parts in the kit. The installation instructions were very clear, and the kit included all the necessary tools to
pull the bar weights out of the throttle side handle bar. Adjustment worked perfectly.
 
I have now  taken a couple of long rides with the Throttlemeister installed on the bike. While knocking down miles on the
super slab, the Throttlemeister is a nice addition to allow periodic resting of the right hand and wrist during a long
trip.
 
This is the second Throttlemeister I have owned on a motorcycle. I had a Throttlemeister for a number of years on my
1991 BMW K100RS motorcycle.
 
Regards,
 
Ben


 

Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner, but I wanted to ride with the Throttlemeister installed for awhile before commenting. I ordered May 26th and it was delivered three days later. Installed it on a new V-Star 950 in about 25 minutes without a problem. I have used it on the highway several times over the past month and a half, and it works exactly as advertised. It sure saves the strain on my arthritic right thumb. From a safety standpoint, it allows you to roll off the power easily in a quick or panic stop situation even from a full on position, but will maintain a constant throttle position adequately without having to tighten it down all the way. Makes it very easy to fine tune or adjust the throttle position when cruising. As far as the color, I bought the black units, and after they were installed, I prefer them to the original chrome tips that came with the motorcyle. Of course, that is a personal preference, but over all the appearance and added length of the Throttlemeister would keep it on my bike even if it did not work at all.

When I first purchased my Honda 919 I had an inexpensive throttle lock installed on my bike basically because I didn’t know any better. It would not hold speed for any length of time and needed constant adjustment. No matter how much I adjusted the tension it would slip and the throttle always had residual tension even after the device was released. That caused a sticking throttle which is a safety hazard not to mention very annoying. I researched the forums for a better alternative and repeatedly Throttlemeister was highly recommended as the throttle lock of choice. I purchased a Throttlemeister and had it installed with high hopes that this product would perform as advertised, and to say I was not disappointed would be an understatement. Setting the lock initially took a couple try’s to get the maneuver down but it soon came very naturally. The throttle holds speed perfectly across flat terrain with no more than a 1 MPH variation over a couple hours ride. Once the device is released there is no residual tension whatsoever and throttle operation is smooth and fluid. The quality machining and ergonomic design of this device was immediately evident enhancing the overall appearance of my bike. I also noticed the handlebar vibration was noticeably reduced, but I’m not sure if that was by design or just a fortunate by-product.  The Throttlemeister was priced a little higher than most of the throttle locks on the market and it only took one ride to see why. Off all the modifications I put on my bike this was the single best investment I ever made. This will change your riding experience; if you do nothing else to your bike get a Throttlemeister.

Dear Sirs,

Your support was excellent. I received my order very quickly and the instructions worked well. I am very pleased with the controls for this equipment. I had read reviews about difficulty in using with gloves, but find this to be completely wrong. I have no problem using it with or without gloves. The design is very well thought out and works perfectly. The esthetics of the weights / throttle control are exceptional. I can't believe BMW doesn’t use them on all their bikes. The matte black finish with the machined flutes is very stunning. It sets off my black bike perfectly.

Regards,
Paul


Hello,

Unit arrived three days ago, I was away up in the Islands. Fitted it last night, all good. Firstly, thanks for keeping me up-to-date with the progress - excellent service. Secondly, the product is bloody brilliant (that's Aussie for great) finish and workmanship is first class.

Thanks,
J Gordon


Dear Folks at Throttlemeister,
 
I just received my Throttlemeister for my 2002 BMW and I want to tell you how impressed with it I am. Great machining and the black finish is super. Great service also - ordered late Friday, had it in the mail on Monday.
 
I installed the unit in less than one hour, but haven't had a chance to really try it yet, since its only Tuesday morning! Customer service is the key to staying in business, and you all deserve a pat on the back. Nice work!
 
Thanks again,
John


Good morning,

I wish to thank you for the outstanding customer service and the timely delivery of my purchase! I have them installed and they look great!

Hey , 

The Throttlemeister arrived yesterday & I installed it on the ZX 14 immediately. Seven days to my doorstep. Looks good, works great, thanks. Your product is excellent value for money & the presentation is 1st class. Well done.

Best regards,
Peter Cairns, Australia.


Wow you guys ship fast!!  That is great.  I ordered the parts for my 2007 YZF-R1 on the 8th and received them on the 10th, FAST.  Install was easy, hardest part was figuring out where I left the allen wrenches.  They look great.  Nice craftsmanship.

Thank you,
Paula


I just wanted to write to thank you for the quick response to my recent request. Last week I ordered a pair of screws to be able to transfer a Throttlemeister from my BMW K1100RS to my BMW R1150RS. You were most courteous on the phone and sent the order immediately so that I would have it by this week. It arrived Saturday. It’s nice to deal with someone who still knows what customer service is all about.

Thank you,
Ray


I’ve received the package on Sat 13May (so quick!)  So I put it on Sunday, it took me about 10 min to complete.  Of course after that I went for the test ride. Great!  Now I can't wait for a long ride for my summer holidays.

Thanks for the Throttlemeister!

I got the inserts from you, worked out great!  Thanks again!!  Have ‘em on all my bikes ... First accessory to go on new bikes for me … Love ‘em!
 
Thank you,
Steve


Throttlemeister installed on my 2006 Honda CBR600F4i.  Black, standard size.

Installation and setup was a breeze, took about 10 minutes start to finish. Easy to set varying degrees of throttle stiffness and they look great!  Very nice quality! 

Thanks,
Rod


Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I installed your kit on my ST2 last week; it's very well made and works wonderfully.  My carpal tunnel will be thanking you!

Here are some of my pics of your outstanding product installed on my ' 06 Suzuki Hayabusa. It took me all of about 30 minutes to install and shim ... one of the easiest upgrades/installs I have ever done!!! I am thoroughly pleased with how the Throttlemeisters work! I drive about 160 miles a day to and from work and they make cruising down the highway a PLEASURE! I am going to recommend this product to all my local friends as well as my friends on our website - HAYABUSA.ORG !!! Thank you again for your courteous and professional service and for a great product! You have my permission to use any of the pictures I am attaching with this email. Hope to see them on your website!!   

Sincerely,
Chris


Hi everybody at Marker Machine, I just want to say thank you for the cruise control. It is well machined and it works great. I received it this morning, I installed it tonight and tried it right away. It's f '##n cool.
 
Thank you again,

Gentlemen --
   
Thanks so much for designing this gem of a product. Every gearhead knows that parts milled from billeted metal are the gold standard of engineering. Like all the other testimonials I received my unit within moments of my order (ok, two days ...), walked it out to my to my Ducati ST3 with two allen-head wrenches, an Exacto knife, and a piece of sandpaper.  In thirty minutes I had it installed and was off for a test drive ... Flawless ...The bonus is that the red stripe matches my Ducati red so well that everyone thinks it's factory equipment.  Feel free to use enclosed pics on your website.
   
All the best,

Thank you for sending the instructions; they were very concise and easy to read. I was amazed how easy the throttle lock was to install. Some people say things are easy and they don't turn out that way. Yours did, great product. You have done your homework, which makes the whole thing a success. It works like a treat.

Yours truly,
Dave


Thanks for all your help on this.  My Throttlemeisters fit great, look great, work great and took only a few minutes to install and adjust.  Haven't taken any long trips yet, but I can tell they will really help the sore right hand issues.  Thanks again for your time in making sure I got the correct ones.

I purchased a Throttlemeister for my 03 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor and was very pleased with the quality of your product. It exceeded my expectations on all counts!
 
I will say easy to install, with no modifications necessary to after-market grips, and performs perfectly even with heavy gloves on the long straight roads to my favorite twisty's. Thanks. Looks great on the bike too!

Hello, 

I just bought a Throttlemeister and put it on my Honda PC 800.  I ordered it without ever actually handling one and it really works and looks great!  It was so easy to install that it took me longer to find the Loc-Tite than it did to put it on.  It is such a pleasure to find an aftermarket product that fit perfectly, was made beautifully, and actually worked better than expected.

Thanks again,
Jay, Burbank, CA


I bought the Throttlemeister for my 2001 ST1100 the other day and got it installed successfully. A very cool invention! I'm impressed with the way that the Throttlemeister components look as a direct replacement for the stock bar ends. Installing the "heavy" version helped take a little buzz I was feeling out of the bars completely. Very clean looking. There's no extra hardware like you'd find with a typical throttle lock. Very easy to operate and works just like it's supposed to.

Thanks!

Thanks for the QUICK service.  I ordered my Throttlemeister for my CBR1100XX with Heli bars on Thursday afternoon and had it installed on Saturday afternoon! They work a hundred times better than the clamp style and require no modifications.

Thanks again!
Chuck


I received your product for my 2003 GSXR-750 and it's GREAT.  Very little adjustment necessary and it fit like a glove.  Does a great job of holding your current speed while you get to stretch that right hand!!!  Workmanship is SUPERIOR to ALL other throttle locks!!! I will be recommending this to all my friends!!!

Thanks again,
Jeffrey


To whom it may concern,

Wow, have you produced a very fine system here.  I ordered it yesterday, got it today, and in ten minutes I had installed and test rode my bike.  The instructions were very easy, almost intuitively I didn't need them, but very pleased with the quality of written instruction.

I am very pleased to tell you that this is truly worth the money. At first I thought it a little pricey, but the quality components involved and the knowledge applied through your millwright's skills really shine through in stainless steel and bronze.

Thank you for your quality product and timely delivery.  I highly recommend this cruise control to those of you who are looking for a high quality mechanical cruise control.

A very satisfied customer,

Sincerely,
Peter

Just wanted to let you guys know that I returned from a 1500 mile trip to the Smokies last night. The only bad part of the trip was the ride up I-59 from Hattiesburg, MS to Chattanooga, TN. I don't think I could have made it without the Throttlemeister. Installation and operation were just like the instructions said. It took me about one day of riding to
master the use of the TM. I was riding with a friend who has a BMW K1200 LT with cruise and had no problem following him. Thanks for a great product.

Brad


Dear Sir,

I just want to let you know that I'm truly pleased with your amazing quick deliverance of the Throttlemeister. My order was faxed on May 28, and the package was delivered June 4: hardly four working days later! In addition, the Throttlemeister was very easily fixed on the handlebars within five minutes (and it works as promised). Thanks for your service!

Met vriendelijke groet,
(kind regards)

I PUT THE THROTTLEMEISTER ON MY 2001 HONDA F4i AND HAVE HAD THE MOST ENJOYABLE RIDING SINCE I BOUGHT THE BIKE NEW.  I AM NOT A MECHANICAL PERSON AND I INSTALLED THE THROTTLEMEISTER  IN ABOUT 30-40 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEM.  IT WORKS GREAT AT HOLDING THE THROTTLE AND IS EASILY OVERRIDDEN TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN.  MY HURTING WRIST USED TO KEEP ME FROM TAKING THE LONGER RIDES BUT NOW IT IS NO PROBLEM.  THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT.

LARRY


Dear Sirs,

I recently installed the Throttlemeister on my Triumph Sprint ST just before embarking on a trip that covered about 750 miles, 300+ of which were one-way.  Most of the road to and from my destination was Interstate, so having cruise-control saved me from getting hand cramps.  The Throttlemeister worked flawlessly.  It is very easy to use and extremely safe, given that all you have to do is twist the throttle if you need to decelerate suddenly.  I could not have been more pleased.  I am telling all of my cycling buddies about it.  I even showed it to my dealer.  Now he may purchase one.  Thanks for "building a better mousetrap."

Sincerely,
G. C.

I bought the zx12 non-polished models and they are nothing but quality, quality, quality. Very nice and work very well. Highly recommend these on a zx12r; they seem to have reduced vibrations too. It was money well spent. On long trips I can take my hand off the throttle on wide open areas of highway. Without them, a stop is required.
 
Thanks,
Eric M,

This is the best purchase I have made for my ST1100. I used it on a 700KLM trip last weekend and it took a great load off the pinched nerve in my neck, which affects my throttle hand. Thank you for a great product.

Guys -
 
I'm the kind of guy who keeps mechanics in business and have probably sent a few of their kids to college.  But I installed my Throttlemeister on my Kawasaki Concours in about 15 minutes with no problems at all.  They look great, but more importantly, work exactly as advertised.  I was out for a two hour ride this weekend with no numbness in my fingers for the first time in my motorcycling career!
 
Thanks for a great product.
Gary T.


Recieved the TM and fitted it on the bike - works great. A nice quality piece of hardware. Very nicely machined and designed.
 
Thanks
Dick


I went to my local BMW dealership to have a Throttlemeister installed on my R1200 cruiser. The Throttlemeister operates smoothly and the one made for this model looks good on the bike. For a person like me who enjoys riding motorcycles, but had to give it up many years ago because of an occasional battle with carpal tunnel, the Throttlemeister is the greatest invention for motorcycles. It has allowed me to enjoy motorcycling once again. This is money well spent. I want to thank the Throttlemeister company for this wonderful riding aid. If you were with me now, I would give you all a big old hug along with the biggest smile.

Sincerely,
One happy Filipino rider!


I received my order yesterday (four days before I expected it). It installed easily and surpassed all my expectations.  Thank you for your great service and great product.

Got my TM a few days ago and installed it in 10 minutes. Very slick, very easy to install, thanks again!
