Throttlemeister Heavy or Standard?

[barbagris]

Any other suggestions for not having to pay the $150 retail?

There was iirc a mod (flipmeister) involving a 12c o-ring.

I know of what you speak, barbagris, but I think I'll stick with someone else's engineering and track record rather than trust my own abilities to get it right. Yeah, it's spendier, but the "surprise factor" should be a lot less.

As to the offering from Newr3.com, I don't see a matching counterweight for the other handlebar. $125 for just the one side seems higher than the Throrttlemeister option.

Aha the South African thing is made to match the R3 original - so You don't need another left on.

Oh and heavy is good - rode the R3 today without weights - and felt white finger buzz.

Oh and Gorge get the fluted ones I think you will like them better I did and I believe they are easier to adjust with gloves on. I really love mine and have had them for 3 years

I wonder if ya could fill a 12 gauge shotgun shell with lead ,silicon it up then shove it into the bar ends?

Another idea might be to get long roofing solder bars and silicon them inside the bars??

There's a company that sells a product called a bar snake; basically you fill the handlebars with a material that firms up and hardens; giving weight to the bars.

looks good tho.. anyone got one??

The bike had one when I bought it. After few months I got wary of it. I know some people swear by them,maybe its the super smooth freeways they ride on. I would rather have a throttle that winds back on its own in an emergency.
I bought one of those Crampbusters the other day,seems to be ok,except it needs to come off in city traffic.

Thats why I like throttlemeisters.you can set it so htat you can wind em back manually as you ride, if the need t odeccellerate arrises all of a sudden.There is no need to have a throttlemeister wound tight.

Onthe bar snakes, why not save some $$$ and just fill some rubber tube with lead shot with a bung in both ends??

Why? - I don't find it interferes at all.
