Title: Throttle Grip Friction Screw - where can I buy?
Post by: F+++RYR on August 28, 2012, 05:49:27 PM
I'm a proud owner of my first K75 (1989/14k miles). Its in excellent condition but I find that I get cramp in my throttle hand and badly need to find a solution. I would like to give a throttle friction screw a go in the hope that it will do the trick for me but I have no idea where to start looking, there is nothing on ebay! Has anybody bought one recently? Simon

Why not just go with a full cruise control setup.
Duck has a write up in the lieberry on it.

Thanks for the number, just ordered from my local dealer £6.35 ($10), will take about 15 days, Simon

No problem. Glad you found one.

By the way, if your hand is cramping then that's an indicator that you're gripping the throttle too hard. Keep your hands and elbows relaxed when you're riding.  One thing that can help to keep the throttle consistent without using a death grip is to rest your first two fingers on the brake lever.

On the K75 Naked and C, the mirrors are in the way. I just used an O-Ring. Gives it just a tiny amount of drag. If you mess with it a bit, you can get enough drag to hold the position for a sec.
