Hey Gang,
I'm about to pull the trigger on an Atlas throttle lock. I've checked out pretty much all the mechanical ones and so far, the general consensus from at least older threads is that about 99.999% of you that have them are happy with them. I tried a search for the Atlas and for the most part, all I can find is older threads/info. So, I thought I'd throw out an info gathering and see what the latest opinions show. I had a McCruise Cruise control on my '18 Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT and loved it. It was abour $625 if I recall. And due to the '20 version of the NC that I have which is throttle by cable, the McCruise hovers around a whopping $800 plus!!!!!!! Yeowwwww! Soooo, I think the Atlas is gonna do just fine. Anyone dislike them? IF so, may I ask why?

P.S. By the way, Atlas has two versions that will work on my bike. One is a "Bottom kit" and one is a "Top Kit". The bottom kit puts the bulk of the operation below the hand grip/throttle. The top kit obviously puts the bulk of it above the throttle. Which does anyone prefer? By the way also, I do not have heated grips. Maybe someday but, not planning on it anytime soon.
