GC-A1BK GO CRUISE 2 Universal Throttle Control System – Black

A very clean looking and well made device. Does not take up much room on the grip or bother with braking. Easy to deploy and to cancel. Gives you the freedom to really focus on the scenery without constantly checking speed or rpm. Simple to put on the grip or take off to avoid theft. Of course the throttle lock does not "monitor" speed it only holds a fixed throttle setting so you will need to feed in a little throttle when going up a hill, but that will not affect your return to the preset throttle when you crest. Down hill speed will increase as will rpm. One thing to be aware of is that your front brake lever may lift the throttle lock as you put on the brake causing the rpm to rise. Normally though, you will have rolled off the lock setting and be holding the grip closed and possibly the clutch in. You can test this while stationary with the engine running and out of gear by simply pulling on the front brake and watching the rpm change. That said, I recommend lifting the throttle lock well clear of the brake lever when you decide to stop using it. Of course it is not for use in traffic or very curvy roads. I'm a bit of a knee dragger and am usually on the hunt for the twisted roads, but NOW I also enjoy the straights on the way there. I really recommend this if you can just put your ego aside and relax. Good riding! UP Date: I recommend backing off the Go Cruse each time you finish a ride as leaving it tight for a long time will cause a "dent" in the handle bar grip which can effect setting you speed on future trips. Also, if you have a grip that has a large stop flange on the inside end there will be a small increase in diameter where the grip approaches this flange. Setting the Go Cruse in this area gets it will in board on the grip I agree, but it is just enough of a conical up hill that the lever can gradually slide down toward the portion of the grip that is all one diameter giving the impression that the lever is not set tight enough. I suggest setting the lever just short of this increase near the stop flange.

I purchased this for a 2025 Honda Transalp. There are aftermarket cruise control modules that can be fitted to the bike since it is throttle by wire, but those are over 10 times the price of this manual lock. I don't want to use cruise all the time when riding, but there are times where it is nice to take your hand off the throttle for comfort sake. It was super easy to install and is nice and compact. It seems to be well constructed and should last for a long time. I used it on my ride to work to test it and it does exactly what it should and am excited to have it as an option!

Ok maybe I need to get use to it. But first off I’ll say it’s easy to mount onto my throttle grip. 2025 Moto Morini Calibro. It’ hold firmly on the grip with the silicone band supplied. Made out of good sturdy material. I noticed that when I had it “locked” into position sometime it wouldn’t hold the desired speed. Ok I tightened it a little bit more. Thumb screw easy to use even when in motion, a little cumbersome though. Once tightened and held in place it kept the desired speed I chose. It would occasionally loosen up with vibration and I had to constantly keep tightening it. That was my only issue. Hopefully it’ll get easier to use as I become more familiar with its quirks. I chose to just leave it on, it takes a little real estate on the grip, and is bothersome at first but you’ll get accustomed to it being there if you choose to just leave it on. All in all it’s not bad and when it’s doing its job it’s fantastic. Side note; just be careful with it when first trying it. Make sure you leave space between the vehicle in front of you or do it while on an open road. Figure out which way is easier to set it, get comfortable with that. Roll off your throttle and it’s disengaged. That simple.

I took this photo with my Kurakyn grips because so many other people (myself included) wanted to know if it would work with these grips. The grips are chrome and smooth, so I was afraid it either wouldn't stick, or would mark the surface up. Either way would have been bad. I'm happy to report it works pretty great. It ships with a silicon/rubber black band about 3/4 inch wide. You can see I also have the Kurakyn throttle boss attachment. The rubber was a little tight to squeeze around my throttle boss, but it went with no problem so if you don't have something like that in the way, you should have no problem installing the silicon/rubber ring. Installation really easy. (See attached video). VIBRATION: I'm writing this review after taking a 1,000 mile long 4-day journey with the Go Cruise attached. It worked out really well. One question often mentioned was whether it held up well to vibration. Keep in mind I have a Suzuki Boulevard C50T cruiser... it's a fuel-injected, shaft driven bike, so it doesn't have the constant vibrating rumble of a 1800cc Harley. Having said that, it worked fine for me. Does it slip a little here and there? Sure it might. I just tightened the thumb screw a little more until I found the sweet spot. I wanted it tight enough not to slip but not so tight that it would mar my grips. I think it works fine for me. If you tried to run it for 50 miles, you'd probably get some slippage, but you're never going to do that. This is a throttle lock, not a cruise control, so unless you happen to be on some super-flat stretch of Kansas, you're going to accelerate/decelerate too much going up and down hills to leave it unattended for more than a mile or three. I did try it out on a 100 mile trip to Raleigh, NC and at one point I rode for about 20 miles without ever touching the throttle except to bump it up on a slight hill now and then. I'd imagine if you had the harder rubber grips instead of my chrome grips, the Go Cruise would probably really be even MORE solid for you. What little slippage I did feel at first was because it was too loose, and again I have it on a smooth chrome grip, so I've got more polished surface to deal with than most people will. Overall I'm very pleased with the performance for what I paid for it. There are five of us that ride together. After having it for about 10 days, two others bought the same thing after they saw mine. I was going to save for the Kurakyn bar-end throttle lock, but that costs 3 times as much and would require me to remove my throttle boss and I've really become attached to that little device. Just get it. You won't be sorry.

I own 2004 Kawasaki ZX6-R 636 for those familiar with the bikes you will know that it is a sport bike and what it comes get with these bikes is a lot fun at the cost of fatigue of different parts of your body. In my case it was right hand going numb to the point it was hard for me to hold throttle. I decided to get cruise control for my bike just so I can let my hand rest here and there making longer rides more bearable. I decided to buy this little unit since reviews were great and other brand i was looking at was $15 more (Omni Cruise) . When I unit arrived I put on my bike and off I went next day for 200 mile ride. This unit work great when it did. I first set my bike to go 60mph set cruise on and it worked like charm. I was sold but then next few times I tried to use it during same trip I encounter different problem everytime I tired to set it up it would hold speed for a moment then my speed would slowly start to drop 1 mph every 10-15 seconds. I thought maybe its not tight enough try tightening more no change then I decided to take off rubber ring that comes with it attach it directly to my handle grip still same story. I tighten even more to the point I was afraid it would be too tight and I won't be able to disengage it in time if I have to slow down or stop. I came to conclusion that vibrations are the problem. There is no rubber on bottom of cruise control to absorb it therefore it starts to slowly loosen itself. Another problem I found is the way you have to use your thumb to engage GO Cruise. There is really small part at the end of it to push it forward with your thumb which makes it hard to do it if you have it tighten down pretty good It would be better if this was little bigger like the one (Omni Cruise) has. It the end this product did partial job for me. I was trying to return it and go with Omni Crusie but I don't want to pay for return shipping so I guess I will hold on to it and improve it on my own hopefully making better.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 10 years old. Since about 30 years of age, I have been plagued with carpal tunnel in my throttle hand (only when riding, never other times). I've been forced to hole the throttle with my left hand at 70 mph so I could shake out my right, vary hand positions constantly, try palm rests to hold the throttle, and numerous wrist supports. Nothing every worked. I was always leary of losing throttle control with a locking devise, but finally decided I needed something. I can't express enough how pleased I was with this purchase. Cost is super reasonable and it works. Bottom line. I can remove my hand, rest it, shake it out, pet my dog (he rides beside me on a side car), and yet as soon as I grab the throttle and turn it down, I am back in control. It's supper easy to adjust and set. It does slip a bit if you don't set it tight enough, but easy enough to tighten up even at full highway speeds.

I am a cruise control addict in my car forever, so using this in town or traffic was no problem or worries. It was instant attraction and love at first use. 😁 The only slight problem I was having on my stock handle bar grips on my 94 Honda goldwing 1500 interstate was that the top part that rest on the brake lever seems to tilt outward to the right of the handle bar so slightly and I have to push it back over to the left with my finger. I used it for the first time and in traffic and in through town and I had no problems with it as I treated it like a cruise control and not a throttle lock. I could easily adjust my speed up or down with a little twist and lock again or twist down for slower speeds. It was interesting and easy to use. If you have problems using this in traffic or town, then maybe, you should not be riding at all. 😁

This is probably the lowest cost way to get a throttle lock on your bike, but I found it was a little annoying to use. Wearing gloves it's somewhat hard to operate, and it likes to slip off its rubber O ring. Once you get it set, it works perfectly, but getting to that point can take some practice. Also note that this isn't really cruise control, it just holds your throttle open. If you live in a flat area it will work pretty well, but if you live in the hills like I do then you'll lose speed going up each one and then gain speed going down. Makes everyone behind you suffer, but if you need a break to fix the cramping in your hand it will give you one.
