I just bought the cheaper throttle lock off of amazon and it's great. It's not meant to be a constant throttle lock or cruise control but it's great to rest your hand for a little while. I've used it out on the back roads but not on the highway yet. To use it effectively I've found that it needs to be as flat as possible on the bar and not up near the thumb where the grip starts to curve. Very happy with the $20 purchase.

Wow I didn't expect this much feedback haha. So let me ask this. Has anyone ever had to use their weapon in a self defense manner? or have even drawn the weapon in a situation before? I always see stats about how less than 1% of the entire CCW have ever been in a "situation" before but stats are usually bogus nowadays. 

Coming off I 75 to the UD arena/ Edwin c Moses blvd. major pot hole on the right side. Probably 3-4 feet wide. Pretty deep as well.

Yup. Fuel is always a big crowd, with everything from a Lamborghini Aventador to the usual ricer crowd, and bikes from scooters to adventure touring rigs to modded CBXs to vintage iron. Killer biscuits and sausage gravy, too, if you get there early enough!!!

What's the fuel thing about? And

The Wed meet at O'Dells is primarily a Junkie crowd since they were the ones to put it together. Used to be some bad blood between OR and AFJ, but the AFJ crew has mellowed greatly since the forum was created and they're a great resource for hooking up for weekly rides into NKY and some on the east side of Cinti. LocalRiders.com is a smaller and less active forum but has a core of about 20-30 regulars that get out every now and then. Check 'em both out.

I'd ride.  But I like small bikes

 

And I couldn't take the highway to work on it, which would suck.

I had a 250 for a while. It was the most fun for 75 mpg. 

welcome!

LoL. Yeah, because the R1 is too slow.

At that point its just a conversation piece but still that powerband would be impressive 

just get a CBR250

I didn't read it carefully I thought I read 1500 cc. I was stoked to see a 1500 R1. That would be insane. nvm 

Practice, over and over and over, unloaded. Then if the time comes it is all muscle memory.

I better try it loaded so I get the full feel for it. If I accidentally shoot myself I need to practice firing while bleeding lol    

clinton county Motorsports has a few in stock.

We need this to happen asap 

Looks like same helmet and shirt/pants as the guy whose bike caught fire! Seems like he should not be riding a motorcycle.

Some people should stick to 4 wheels 

That would probably be the quietest biker gang ever. 

Thanks for all the responses. I might throw it in my tank bag for long hauls but for the most part I'll try to keep it IWB. I don't know how well I'll be able to grab it with gloves on but let's hope I dont have too

I've recently received my concealed carry permit. Does anyone carry and ride? How do you position your gun. I carry IWB but I feel this would feel awkward on a sport bike. Thanks

I swore by Corbin's on all 3 of my super sports. Tried a different direction on the VFR and that was a mistake as it's not nearly as nice as Corbin route

I guess I'm going to have to give it a shot thanks 

It will help for numbness on longer rides.  

 

Corbin has lots of different textures for the seat surface.  Tell them you want one of the more grippy surfaces.  Oh, and don't order from their website.  Call and talk to someone.  They gave me some good ideas for customization that I wouldn't have though of.

 

Here is one I had custom made.  After about 30,000 miles, I sold it on ebay for about $50 less than I originally paid (after I sold the bike).

 

That buell looks amazing. Love those bikes. Thanks 

I have a Corbin on my ZX6R. I love it. The biggest difference is that the seat is wider in the back so when you're not pressed up against the tank for spirited rides you can scoot back a little bit and have your butt actually be spread over the seat instead of having it split your cheeks if that makes sense. As far as longevity, A+ so far. I've left it in the rain a couple times and it dries out fairly well as long as you leave it for a bit. Finish is still perfect after that as well. I got mine off of Ebay for about 80 bucks less than retail, still brand new.

I'm going to call and see if they might cut a line out kind of what you see on road bicycle seats to spread it out and allow more blood flow. 

I thought they would do anything. Did they say that?

I looked on their page and there was no option for the gsxr series. I will call after work and see if they do custom work. Ideally I would like to have a center line cut out down the seat to help with numbness 

I like Corbins.  I've had 3 of them.  I find them to be very comfortable for distance riding.  

 

If you get a Corbin, order it directly from them.  Not a dealer.  They will customize if free of charge, with different materials, color, height, etc.

does the seat help to keep you from sliding around and slamming into the tank? what about numbness for long rides? thanks

Buy a used seat off Ebay.  Send it to Russel following their directions. You will never have a better seat than the one they make just for you.

They don't offer an option for the gsxr 

Welcome, I ride the same areas as you, south of Dayton and around Indiana. PM me if your ever wanting company

Where are you from? I'm straight west on 35 past dayton 

I'm looking to buy a new seat. I have been looking into Corbin seats for the gsxr. Has anyone tried this brand of seat? I've read a lot about break in period and the seat being a lot firmer than the stock seat. I've noticed a lot of numbness and sliding around a lot on the stock 2005 gsxr seat. Thanks

I'll be out this evening in the Dayton area. Probably around the Dorothy ln wal mart abd then to the Greene

You flip that lever up with your thumb and that locks the throttle. So it is not cruise control..you will drift up and down on hills. But they work very well. Used them for years.

I know several people that have the second one. Same principle and it too works well.

The third is extremely popular, it doesn't lock but lets you use the weight of your palm so you can relax your fingers.

I looked it up online and they said the first throttle assist wouldn't fit my gsxr 750 bar. 

I have the first one as i bought it from iron pony and it works really good i think.

you can pair it with a cramp buster also as those really help also.
