Not sure, but it seems to me more attention to the throttle is needed with the zip tie in place. I'll have to try it.

You want the big black 1/4" wrap-ties that the Telephone Company guy use. Hey! I'm an ex-Telephone Company guy! I went and checked in the garage on in the telephone stuff box.... oops.... all out. Scoot over to Lowes.... just little 1/8" wrap-ties. Okay, ask one of my Telephone Company type guys that are still working. . . . . Wait a minute... I thought telephone vans were as common as fleas but I couldn't see anyone running around.
Whatever. Next time I see one I'll ask if he could "accidently" drop one. You can do the same.

I think this is more of a distraction attempting to get it set right than it's worth. Anything that takes your focus off the road is not a good idea IMHO.

I think it will be very handy for running just under WOT in the Interstate on a 1.5 hour run.

I think most would agree, this is not meant to use for a daily commute. Its more meant to use when you're traveling long distances on a straight road for hours at a time and your wrist starts to cramp up.I wouldn't use it in traffic or curvy roads. |

howdy and yup to the above
it would , however, at least give you an opportunity to rest that arm and hand on longs stretches of road. I have ridden this last scooter on some longer trips and liked to take the left arm and rest it for a minute or so and it would be nice to do the same with the right one.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya

Try a catapillar O ring. they were available on e bay for just a few cents. I bought several a couple of years ago and have only used one. The large black O rings you can get at the hardware store will not last but these yellow ones will. The best thing about this setup is that when not in use they can be rolled out of the way.
