    If you want a simple FJR throttle lock, try this.

    Tigerpaw78, I appreciate the feedback. I am amazed at how well this works for the price of a washer. I understand the chiropractor. I get pretty squirmy between fuel ups. You may have more miles than I do and know every trick. A couple of things I have noted in using the mod...You cannot...

    Phatjax, I looked at the pics. The handle you added takes up some of the bolt length. Try a slightly longer bolt. The added length may give more thread contact and stop or slow the loosing. Also, the washer in the pics is large. There is a 1" washer that fits perfectly into the opening.

    Phatjax, put a little teflon tape on the treads of the cap screw. The tape tightens up the sloppy threads and keeps them from backing off so readily when the lock is not engaged. Then hand tighten the screw until there is just the slightest bit of resistance. Mine will then stay put.

    I am not set up for online pictures and I do not appear to be able to simply insert an image. I will be happy to email pics to anyone interested, but it is a washer guys...just a washer. You don't have to ride the bike to try it. Install the washer as discribed and tighten the weight with an...

    If you want a simple FJR throttle lock, try this.

    I have a 2008 FJR with a stock throttle. I made a very simple throttle lock today that works great. Total cost, 10 cents to $2. Time … 10 minutes. Remove the throttle side bar end weight with an allen wrench. Place a 1”odX7/16”id steel washer over the slight protrusion around the bar side...
