So, im bored and i decided to make a cruise control for my bike because i didnt wanna spend 130 for throttlemiser. i got some aluminum and went to the shop and turned out one of these to replace my right barend. it looks kinda ugly right now but it works really good. this is the first one and before i start making more i'd take the time to measure everything exact.
With that being said, i used this on a three our ride up north and it worked perfect. held throttle at 85mph the whole time and when i did need to slow down it was easy to let off the throttle.

you put a large washer in between the throttle grip and this barend and it gets pushed by the two bolt that are threaded in the bar end. (griping the throttle where ever you leave it.) In the picture i only have one bolt but the other one would go on the other side of the barend. the center hole is for the allen that came out of the oem barend and will hold the new one on. This new barend is made on a metal lathe by myself and is made out of alumium. it weighs much less than the oem barend. i could also make the outside completely circle instead of rounded corners, as shown. maybe painted black if requested?
My question is this, would anyone be interested in me making one for their bike, and also would they be willing to pay around $25 for the barend which would also include all the bolts, (excluding the middle oem bolt) and the large washer needed for installation?
Thanks for your thoughts and time,
Chris
