Throttle lock thread ?

The neat little throttle lock dropped out on the road somewhere so I reckon rather than a real on it's going to get a cap screw as a replacement .I only use it to warm her up in the morning anyway .

What's the thread ? 8 mm metric fine or larger ?

You may want to reconsider after learning that I use mine all the time. It allows me to use my right hand. I wouldn't be able to wave to Harley riders if not for it. That's reason enough.

Edit: Ooh, just thought of this: If you use the wrong thread dimension it will be a new form of thread degradation here on Boxerworks!

Get the original, you really should be using it for any touring type riding.

Did you have the spring on it? I find it helps to keep it just shy of touching when not in use. If you crank it out too far the spring won't hold it.

It has a spring on it, and a spring loaded nylon button in the hollowed out end.

If you just use a screw it will wear a grove in the die cast twist grip PDQ.

I can happily fit a disc of HDPE in first with a spring on top , I have boxes of springs .

No one is going to tell me the thread size I can tell !

I don't understand how locking the throttle on can be a good thing.
Just sounds dangerous to me.

Get a scrunchie, shove it in between the grip and the throttle housing. It'll work. Don't tell the women in the family 'bout their scrunchie though!
