Descrizione Cruise control for Honda Shadow 750, VTX1300 and VTX1800, chrome

The throttle stays where you leave it, and your right hand can rest. This chrome mechanical cruise control for the Honda Shadow 750, VTX1300, and VTX1800 replaces the motorcycle's right handlebar end weight: as you open the throttle, tighten the ring with your little finger, and the grip holds the selected opening. No electronics, no wiring, and no motorcycle modifications.

How it works

The knurled ring screws onto the end weight and provides friction against throttle grip rotation. When tightened, it holds the throttle at the selected opening; when loosened, the grip moves freely and returns to idle by itself. It locks the throttle opening; it is not a speed regulator: the motorcycle slows uphill, accelerates downhill, and the device does not disengage automatically when you brake. You can always open and close the throttle by hand, even when the device is engaged.

What you receive and how to install it

The package includes: chrome Kaoko torpedo-style end weights, friction ring, thrust washer, and a 2 mm Allen key. Remove the original right end weight, install the Kaoko one, and adjust the ring resistance with the 2 mm key. The manufacturer's instructions can be downloaded from the product page.

All models are in the Kaoko cruise control range.

Perché sceglierlo
  • Mano destra a riposo: nei trasferimenti a velocità costante polso e avambraccio non devono più tenere aperto il gas.
  • Gas più stabile in fuoristrada: sullo sterrato sconnesso riduce le aperture involontarie dovute ai colpi.
  • Zero elettronica: niente cavi né centraline, prende il posto del contrappeso originale.
  • Si comanda senza lasciare la manopola: la ghiera si stringe e si allenta tra mignolo e palmo.
A chi è consigliato
  • A chi macina lunghi tratti di autostrada e statale.
  • A chi fa mototurismo e vuole il gas più stabile sugli sterrati sconnessi.
  • A chi a fine giornata sente la mano destra affaticata o intorpidita.

Il produttore lo destina a motociclisti esperti, da usare solo quando la strada lo consente.

FAQs

Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta la nostra FAQ delle domande frequenti.

Is it cruise control like the electronic kind in cars?

No. It is a mechanical throttle lock: it maintains the throttle opening you selected, not the speed. The motorcycle slows down uphill, accelerates downhill, and it does not disengage automatically when you brake or pull in the clutch. It is intended for highway and main-road stretches at a constant speed, when road conditions allow it.

How do you turn it on and off?

As you open the throttle, squeeze the ring between your little finger and palm: the ring screws in and creates the friction that holds the grip in position. To disengage it, make the same gesture while closing the throttle. When disengaged, the grip should open and close freely on its own, as if the device were not installed.

Can I still turn off the gas with the device inserted?

Yes. The ring slows the rotation of the throttle but does not lock it: you can always open and close the throttle by hand; the grip simply feels a little stiffer. The manufacturer recommends using it only when road conditions permit and keeping it disengaged in all other situations.

Do I need to modify the motorcycle to install it?

No. The Kaoko cruise control replaces the right handlebar bar-end weight: no drilling and no wiring. You rarely need to move the throttle housing a few millimeters along the handlebar by loosening its screws and tightening them again to the torque specified by the manufacturer. All the steps are in the instructions downloadable from the product page.

Which handlebar setup is it mounted with?

According to the manufacturer: standard. It mounts on the stock motorcycle without adapters. If your motorcycle has different handlebar accessories, contact us before ordering.
