My first RU-vid video.
Parts list:
2, 24 Gauge Gaskets 1 1/8" ID ($0.46 ea)
1, 18 Gauge Gasket 1 1/8" ID ($0.47 ea)
2, 0.005" Brass Gaskets 1 1/18" ID ($0.36 ea)
1, chunk of metal to use as a lever. if you don't have any scrap metal hanging around use a quarter. It will be about the right thickness and length.
Epoxy Glue or JB weld
Double sided tape
Black paint marker to paint the edges of the gaskets black
Spray paint to paint the lever
Masking tape to cover the rings while painting
Sandpaper to clean up excess glue
If you don't have power tools such as bench grinder and/or a Dremel a good old fashion hacksaw and file will do the job, they will just take a little longer.
I had to make my own brass gaskets they suck to make, but help to keep the overall size down so are worth it in the end. So if you can't find brass gaskets ask if they have sheets of brass.
I found the gaskets by going to Bolt and fastener stores in the industrial sections.
Good luck and I hope this video help you make your own throttle lock for less than $5.00.
I did forget to mention to install you will have to remove your grip. There are plenty of videos showing how to remove and install your grips.

There was a commercially available product very similar to this in the late 70's / early 80's. I have been searching for it for quite a while with no luck and was planning to make my own. Its nice to see creative people sharing their ideas with the masses. Thank you.

@SuperTrailbiker 4 года назад

Do a search for NEP Throttle Lock. I am pretty sure that is what you are looking for. I have had one on my 83 Honda CB1100F for 35 years now and it still works flawlessly. There are 3 models depending on your throttle cable setup.

@wendygerrish4964 Год назад

I will look for that too thanks. Had a great one on my cx500. Used friction too but kind of different.

@Scootphoria 4 года назад

Great idea. I used some thick plastic from a garbage can, made 2 washers. Made an indent into the inside washer, but not all the way through like this one. Then screwed a small bolt from an electrical switch to make the protrusion. Still had to use another small piece like the gold one to act as antifriction against the grip. Works like a charm.

So basically you've made a custom friction plate design that works whenever the thumb actuated lever section moves past over the notch which causes friction locking action with the rubber grip flange. Excellent use of simple mechanics! Thanks for the share! I'm sure many will find this very useful and practical. I might make my own as well. Have a great day!

You should be able to get it from any industrial supply shop, or even a farm equipment repair shop should be able to send you in the right direction. Good luck, and happy building.

It's called Shim Stock.. You can buy it in small sheets and rolls. You can get it in Brass, Stainless Steel and Steel. Look up "Precision Brand Shim Stock".. They are one manufacturer of shim Stock. Available from .001 to probably .050 thicknesses. Places like Grainger, MSC, Bearing Supply houses, etc.. in the USA carry it!!! Looks like Amazon and Walmart online have it!!

@nobodysreview6137 4 года назад

With the normal clip on bar style, it will back off as soon as u grab the throttle to slow down or if u want to speed up its fine too. This doesnt seem as safe or as practicle for speeding up 2 pass semi trucks on the highway. with the big clip on style u can speed up going up a hill and then just back the throttle back down an its right where u had it.

@ckutryk4594 4 года назад

Hey There. All this does is stop the automatic return of the throttle. So you can still move the throttle with it engaged. The amount of pressure that is put on the throttle is the same as if you held the throttle with one finger. You will only really notice you have it engaged while riding when you take your hand off the throttle and keep going at the same speed. I live near the foothills and have several hilly roads that constantly require throttle adjustments. I leave the throttle lock on the entire time I'm on the hwy and have zero issues. The only time throttle locks are an issue is in an accident and you loose control of the throttle because you are not on the bike. If the idea of the throttle not returning on its own feels like a safety issue I recommend not using them. For everyone else they are amazing for long rides as the reduce hand, and wrist fatigue.

@jcb355 7 лет назад

Cool idea, and simple. I *really* like how it is barely visible. Good Job! It's not at all like the out of place, over-engineered, ugly contraption on my bike. Question... What's the purpose of the brass rings? And, considering it's purpose, are there alternative materials that could be used in it's place in case I can't find brass?

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

I am only using the brass as a lubricator on the right so the rings don't catch, and on the throttle body side I used the brass just to stop any wear on the throttle body, and be as thin as possible. I would assume that you could get away without the brass, heck it may be doing very little. Let me/us know if everything works great without it. I am sure it will be information everyone would appreciate.

@jcb355 7 лет назад

Ah, I see. I'm wondering if something like a thin nylon washer, or maybe even plastic washer might work there? No matter, this is probably the coolest of all the DIY throttle locks I've seen!

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

I don't see why it wouldn't. Defactio in the comments below said he was going to try 3D printing one for his bike. I think his idea would be really good too.

@Movieman1965 3 года назад

It appears that you used adhesive or double sided tape to bond the notched plate to the throttle body in a fixed position. This is a key element for this to work well obviously. That is how the wedging/friction action works. Very clever!

@ckutryk4594 3 года назад

Yes it's just double sided tape and some washers, with a tab. welded/JB welded on. Mine is still on my bike working great 5 years later.

@Jocazvezdara Год назад

Bravo for idea and big bravo for sharing!!!! I want to make the same one for my Honda CBF and I have one question please. I have 7/8" bar. On the left and right side of the throttle, under the ruber I have welded "plastic rings" with is 1.1811 inch in diameter. How to get gaskets with holes little bit bigger than the bar all the way to the left side? Those rings are in the way... Thank you and I hope that I was clear enough... My english is not that good.

@ckutryk4594 Год назад

On the side attached to the housing I would cut the notch large enough to go over the bar. I would then use 2 rings on the other side, cut them in half and put them on the bar so the cuts are at 90 degrees from each other and glue them together with a metal epoxy.

@denniskierulf3554 7 лет назад

how the washers stays its place when you turn it

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

When the entire assembly is installed it touches the housing and the handle. When you move the washer up you move the lever from being inline with the washer that you cut a chunk out of on top of that washer so you effectively increase the total number of washers that are between the housing and the handle. The throttle handle on bikes requires surprisingly little force to hold it in place. So just to be clear, when you move the lever you change the spacing the washers take up, by changing the number of washers stacked up from 3 to 4. the 4th is only about 3/4" but that little change is just enough pressure to stop the handle from returning on its own. You can still move the handle all you want, it will just be a little stiffer. I have found that while riding on the hwy I tend to leave it in gauged and just adjust the throttle when going up and down hills, rather then turning the thing down.

@ShakotanRon 7 лет назад

took me a minute but it makes perfect sense. all you are doing is applying mechanical pressure to the grip, to encourage it to stay in its position. am i right?

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

Yes exactly right. Thats why you can still move the throttle even thought it is engaged.

@fastfoodvon 7 лет назад

This looks like a great idea, thanks. You are calling some of these parts gaskets, and maybe they are. But they look more like some sort of washers. Can you give a link to these products or say where exactly you bought them?

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

I went into town to the industrial business area and stopped in about 5 different shops before I found what I needed. I would suggest going to a place that specialises in fasteners, (Nuts & Bolts) this type of company www.acklandsgrainger.com, and explain what you need and they will be able to start you off in the right direction, or order something in.

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

@NickMrbadgerMartin 7 лет назад

you should get a patent on that real quick lol great gizmo

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

I refuse to patent it, for the following reasons. 1. Patenting something reduces the availability of the item. 2. I don't want to see it go the way of the infinitely variable wiper blades. Back in the 60's you could change the speed of your wiper blades on your car to match your speed and rainfall perfectly. The guy who came up with the idea pretty much just figured out how to hook up the wiper motor to a volume nob. He tried to sell the idea to the car manufactured they told him they wouldn't buy the idea, but started putting it in there cars anyways. He sued them for patent infringement. Now we have intermittent wipers because car manufacturers don't want to pay extra for shit that they can't charge extra for. I would rather see all bikes come with something like this as a standard feature, so that we as riders all benefit. I don't want to see this idea sued out of existence. If you think a manufacturer would pay even a 10 cent royalty, remember that GM refused to fix a design flaw in there ignition that would cost an extra 5 to 15 cents per $30,000 car. The government forced them to use the more expensive part so that people would stop dying.

This is a great video considering it is your first! Great idea. Couple things. You keep saying throttle body. To me the throttle body is somewhere in a carburetor. :-) It would be cool to see the actually install. Some of us learn engineering in process. Also, what about thin nylon washers instead of brass?? If someone is worried about a patent, the video would suffice that you made it first. Thanks a lot for sharing.

@ckutryk4594 6 лет назад

I'll see what I can do about adding an install video this summer, I think the nylon would work great. I also think the idea of 3D printing a throttle lock would be nice to try out. I have no idea what types of plastic the printers use as I have never even seen a 3D printer. As long as the plastic isn't brittle it should work fine as the pressures being exerted on the throttle is the equivalent to one finger.

@dougfresh1341 6 лет назад

Thanks. I'll subscribe and if you post more install details, will watch. I was looking at the Atlas throttle lock. It's bulkier. But what I noticed is that they use your same principle. I'm betting if you tore theirs apart, you would find a step-style catch like you have. ??? Of course, your $5.00 wins the cost race!

@carlosparedes733 8 лет назад

How do you install it?

@ckutryk4594 8 лет назад

Remove the throttle handle (the best thing to do is look up the best way to do that for your bike. It is usually with compressed air or with a screwdriver shoved up between the throttle and the rubber grip) then you take the double sided tape attach it to the the thin gasket you glued the C shaped gasket to it, then stick the other side to the throttle body, then slide the full ring with the tab attached, then any spacers/or at least one last 0.005 gasket to prevent and friction to the handle. re-glue the grip on the inside. I used plastic cement, shove the handle on let it set overnight.

@ckutryk4594 5 лет назад

I haven't had any issues moving it with ski-doo gloves on in the late fall up here in Alberta. The lever I use sticks out as far as the turn signal switch does, it's just thinner. If your gloves are too big for your hands (thumb doesn't go to the end) then I would say yes it would be harder to operate. You would also struggle with starting the bike, signaling, hitting the horn, or operating the bright light switch.

You can still twist the throttle while the lock is engaged. It just stops the auto return. While it's engaged I adjust my speed with my thumb and one finger. Don't really see any danger for any who doesn't panic and let go of the throttle to slow down during an emergency.

@capsmith5876 7 лет назад

Nice idea. My only quibble is that the activation lever is attached with epoxy, which might break off during activation -- and could lead to a stuck throttle. There are any number of ways to get around that issue. Seems like a cool project for someone with a solid printer.

@ckutryk4594 7 лет назад

The throttle at most would be stiff if the lever broke off you can always move the throttle. If you use a proper epoxy like JB Weld you will not be able to separate the two pieces without tools and wrecking the ring. Your other option is to weld them together or make it out of 1 piece.
