Specifications and details for Kaoko mechanical cruise control for Honda VFR 800 / BLACKBIRD '01 - , CBR 1100XX

Product Details

Welcome to the pinnacle of long-distance comfort with HONDA VFR 800/BLACKBIRD '01-, CBR 1100XX KAOKO motorcycle cruise control. When tackling long motorway stretches or touring, the constant tension on the throttle grip can lead to muscle fatigue and uncomfortable tingling. KAOKO, a world leader in mechanical cruise control systems, offers a refined and safe engineering solution, specifically designed to allow the rider to relax their right hand without losing speed control.

The Kaoko system stands out for its incredible simplicity and reliability. Unlike complex electronic systems, this mechanical friction device integrates perfectly with the original handlebar end weight, preserving the motorcycle's aesthetics. It is not merely a comfort accessory, but a genuine improvement in active safety, reducing rider physical stress and allowing for smoother, more focused riding.

Advantages and Innovation of KAOKO Systems

Installing a Kaoko cruise control on your motorcycle brings immediate and lasting benefits, drastically improving the touring experience:

  • Fatigue Reduction: Allows the hand, wrist, and forearm to rest during constant speed sections, preventing cramps and fatigue.
  • Smooth Speed Control: Adjustment is made via an intuitive friction ring, which allows the throttle to be locked in the desired position or adjusted precisely.
  • Perfect Integration: Each kit is custom-designed for the specific motorcycle model, ensuring no interference with handguards, mirrors, or original controls.
  • Safety and Responsiveness: The system is designed to be overridden manually at any time. In an emergency, the throttle can be closed instantly without having to manipulate the ring.
  • Premium Materials: Built to last the lifetime of the motorcycle, using stainless steel and high-strength plastics resistant to UV rays and chemicals.

Robust Engineering for Maximum Comfort

KAOKO's manufacturing philosophy is based on extreme durability. Every component is machined with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) to ensure minimal tolerances and smooth operation that does not degrade over time or with exposure to the elements. The adjustment ring is designed to offer the right grip even when wearing heavy winter gloves, allowing precise activation and deactivation with a single, natural movement of the little finger.

In addition to technical functionality, Kaoko pays great attention to operational safety. The friction exerted by the device is constant but calibrated, allowing the rider to modulate acceleration even while cruise control is active. This mechanical approach eliminates the risks associated with electrical malfunctions or dirty sensors, typical of low-quality aftermarket electronic systems, offering complete peace of mind in every travel scenario.

FAQ - Buying and Installation Guide

Is it difficult to install the Kaoko cruise control?

No, installation is extremely simple and usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes. In most cases, it involves replacing the original handlebar end weight with the Kaoko device using the screws provided in the kit.

Does the system completely lock the throttle?

The device exerts adjustable friction. It is not a total "rigid" mechanical lock; it is designed to maintain position but always allows the rider to force manual closing or opening in case of immediate need.

Can I use it if I have heated grips?

Yes, Kaoko systems are compatible with most original and aftermarket heated grips, provided there are no external mechanical interferences not foreseen by the motorcycle's original design.
