Bike Mod #4 - Cruise

A week ago today (Aug 2, 2007), I added another mod to my Shadow. It's called a Universal Vista Cruise. It's not a full cruise control but rather a "throttle lock." The extended trips we're starting to take on the motorcycles sometimes cause my right shoulder/neck to ache. I've got a bit of arthritis in it from 20+ years of competitive softball and cold weather or continuous stress on it causes it to hurt. So, to help alleviate the pain I tried different throttle locks. After finally deciding on the UVC, I am quite pleased. It's a bit bigger than I'd prefer, however it's not much of an eye sore, so I'm happy.

Here's a photo that I found on the HondaShadow.net forums.
