Victory Throttle Lock

I test rode the Victory bikes in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and loved the Jackpot, but I am concerned that they do not have the little wing screw that you can adjust like on the Harley's throttle, so you can release your hand off of the throttle and still keep the engine rpms steady. I have been told it is a liability reason Victory does not do that, but then was showed an aftermaket gadget that was on Hondas that could be purchased and installed.

What do you Victory owners use???

Thanks

When I had my Victory, I made my own from a HD star wheel assemble. I may still have the information to pass on. I'll check and see and repost.

I have one of Kevin's throttle locks. It takes minutes to install by removing a single bolt and it works like a champ.
