Cheap Yet Effective Mods?

Throttlemeister installed. It appears to work much better than the Manic Salamanders. I haven't had a chance to road test it, but it works fine from what I can tell.

The Manics are a solid piece of work and I wouldn't hesitate to use their bar ends. But, the throttle lock relies on spring tension to hold it in place, which is it's weak point. The Throttlemeister uses a threaded piston to hold the throttle. Once you get it shimmed to the right distance from your throttle tube, you simply twist it harder for more pressure.
