Anyone have Heli-Bars for their 2nd Generation SV650S?

It holds just fine in triple digits also.

ETA: As for *how* it works, it's a twist-compression system. When you twist the Throttlemeister, it compresses into the bar to hold the throttle. It releases when you twist it, or roll back on the throttle. It is a bit of a pain to get adjusted with the right combination of shims, but once you take the time to do that, you're set.

Definitely will be looking into that. I do a lot of highway riding when I want to just GET somewhere and that would come in handy.

hmmm, they're still a tad bit pricey

I've spent a decent amount on my bike this year in accessories - this one may have to wait a TAD bit longer or else my wife will get upset

I'll be cruising ebay and such for one I think for a while.

Be sure you know what others will fit from their website so you can widen your search on Ebay.

In my case, the same Throttlemeister fits the Busa *and* the TLR. Handy if I ever decide to tour on the TLR again.

Also check Swatt Motorcycle Products:

I believe they have clip-ons to fit the SV with up to 3-1/2 inches of rise.

I've actually got a triple tree from a naked SV on the way for when I eventually decide to do the conversion.
