Breakaway Cruise Control

One of the first things I did! I had one on a bike 25 years ago and loved it. this ones even more refined.

The only hassle installing is to remove that moulded hump, or fairing if you will, on the inside of the grip? I wanted it up snug to the switch/brake actuator assembly for looks, more space on the throttle, and it makes the outrigger to the assembly more stable. The hardest part was getting the blasted grip off.
&*^%&%$%$#% but once you get it off you can trim the hump off with a razor blade and then finish it up with a Dremel tool.

I wouldn't ride distances without it.

I'm not at the bike right now, but if you go for it and need better shots or help let me know. I think a shot from underneath would be really helpful to see how the out rigger assembly is rigged. I put it on in a couple of hours, adjusted it, and I haven't done a thing to it since. It has worked flawlessly for 7000 miles from 30 degrees to 100 degrees OAT without any further adjustment! Highly recommend it!
I've use compressed air with a shop air nozzle stuck between the rubber grip and the throttle. Works on dirt bikes, bmx bikes and I would assume Triumphs.
 
I just spoke with the dudes from that company and you definitely don't have to remove the grip at all. Only if you want the 1/8"inch back by shaving off the ring on the grip. I personally would not bother. I ordered one for my 2015 Rocket and they told me no problem on that bike. I will let you know once I get it late next week. I am in Canada :)

You will really like it, but I think they're pretty far off on that 1/8 inch? You'll be able to judge better when you actually see it and slide it up as far as it will go. I'll be glad to take better pic's when I get to the bike tomorrow if you like or just wait till you get it. I got one for my son's FJR1300 before we drove out west and he really loves his too. Glad you ordered it.
 
I am actually impressed with the workmanship on the part. It doesnt look like its something that doesnt belong from the vids. I am a cruiser so you kinda need a throttle lock. Love this bike!

Exactly! It's a really nice piece of machine work with a really nice finish. That's why I went to the extra effort to get it up against the switch housing so it would look like part of the casting?
 
I am going to install it without screwing with the grip and then I will see. If it will look much better like the pic you posted I will shave it down.
 
So I got mine installed today without manipulating the handlegrip and it is great. No need to do the extra work on trimming it in my opinion. Take a look. Also, I love the way it looks professional and like it came with the bike.
