Review on Enhance Your Riding Experience with Go Cruise GC-A1BK GO CRUISE 2 Universal Throttle Control System in Sleek Black by Tyrone Narvaez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! (and working on Kurakyn ISO grips)

I took this photo with Kurakyn grips because a lot of people (including myself) wanted to know if it would work with those grips. The grips are chrome plated and smooth, so I was afraid they would either not stick or leave marks on the surface. Either way it would be bad. I'm happy to report that it works very well. It comes with a black silicone/rubber strap about 3/4" wide. You can see I also have a Kurakyn throttle body. The rubber was a bit tight to compress my throttle body assembly, but it went through with no problems So if you don't have such a thing you shouldn't have any trouble installing the silicone/rubber ring Installation is very easy (See attached video) VIBRATION: I'm writing this review after a 4 day 1,000 mile review Traveling with a Go Cruise connected. It worked very well. A frequently asked question was if it handles vibration well. Mind you I have a Suzuki Boulevard C50T Cruiser. It's a shaft driven fuel injected bike so doesn't have the constant vibrating rumble of an 1800cc Harley. As I said, it worked fine for me. Does it slip a little here and there? Of course it can. I just tightened the thumbscrew a bit pulled until I found the golden mean. I wanted it to be snug enough not to slip, but not so tight that it wouldn't hurt my grips. I think it works fine for me. If you try to drive it 50 miles you'll probably get some slippage, but you never will. Kansas, you will accelerate/brake too hard going up and down hills to leave him unattended for more than a mile or three. I tried it out on a 100 mile ride in Raleigh, NC and at one point I went about 20 miles without ever touching the throttle except for the occasional nudge on a small hill. With harder rubber grips instead of my chrome grips, the Go Cruise will probably be even MORE RELIABLE for you. The little slip I felt at first was because it was too loose, and again I've got it on a smooth chrome handle so I have to deal with a more polished finish than most people. Overall I'm very happy with the performance for what I paid for it. There are five of us and we are traveling together. After 10 days two others bought the same thing after seeing mine. I wanted to save money on a Kurakyn gas lock but it costs 3 times as much and would require me to remove the throttle and I've really gotten used to this little device. Just take it. You will not regret it.
