    Nylon vs. Metal ... we'll know if it's worth it or not as soon as myself and northwood get ours.

    I don't like the VistaCruise design. Looks cheap to me. The NEP design is a little nicer IMHO.

    All that said, it could just be a pile of dung .... there's a 30-day 100% refund guarantee ... so why not? :)

    Billy .... :p

    With a money back guarantee and all steel or at least mostly steel construction, trying one out is worth a shot.

    It's not like sitting on a bike on a stand and doing the pump the levers and vroom-vroom thing at a bike show. Some of those show bikes sometimes do not have innards.

    This is exactly what I remember on my dads goldwing.

    I was drunk when I purchased the Atlas. So, this should be interesting. :eagerness:

    Now I need to call Jamie about suspension next time I have a few.

    Vibranators on a HD would weigh around 5 kilo's each. Only 2 kilo's for the older Road Kings with a counter balanced crank. HD dudes hated the smoother engine of the counter balanced King though.... Go figure.

    I got my throttle lock yesterday. I have to say, VERY well constructed. Interested to see how well it works. It will probably be a month before I get to install/use it. Here are the photos of it.

    Not sure if it gets out to revzilla or anyone right now. It is at atlasthrottlelock.com right now. Very well built. Very heavy duty. Looking forward to trying it out.

    Still liking the Throttlemeister but it looks like the Atlas can double as a screwdriver and bottle opener.
