Anyone tried the cruise control made by Wunderlich. Are they fit for purpose?? Nippy Normans are selling them.

I've had one for a long time and tbh i don't think I'd spend the money on one again. It is rare to find quiet enough m-ways or roads to safely use it.
However, it is good to be able to take your hand off the throttle now and again and stretch a bit.
There has been a fair amount of discussion in the past, would be worth you doing a search.

Bullockbeamer if you subscribe £12 per annum. You can get awesome money saving tips like using a simple O-ring method to form a crusie-control.
GS-biker has done it to brilliant effect. It maybe on one of my upcoming youtube videos in the next few weeks. ( I have limited upload speed & 15+ videos to throw online rather then doing only the latest greggers maintaince day vid's for you..non subscriber

One curious (and possibly dangerous) thing about the Wunderlich cruise control is that it locks when turned in the same direction as the throttle turns during deceleration. This means that a rider might be unable to quickly unlock the throttle in a panic situation. 
The Kaoko and Throttlemeister locks turn in the opposite direction, so that the throttle unlocks during deceleration. I'm not sure what the Wunderlich designers were thinking.
Maybe they learned their safety engineering from Toyota.

The o-ring does work the treat. I only use it on the motorways and not on any twisties. Also use it more in summer with my summer gloves on as my winter gloves are like yeti's hands.
I'm probably being thick, but I can't find the thread for the o-ring DIY job??
Anybody want to help me out?

Go down to a hardware store and pick up a pack of O-rings, select one that’s just smaller than the bar end and slip it over. If you have guards, remove the bar end and connecting guard, slip the o-rind on the throttle and Bob is your uncle. As mentioned, I only use it on motorways. Obviously is does not regulate the speed but rather the throttle in the selected position meaning that up and down hills will vary the speed.

..how dare you share that secret..lol
He's only going to ask what size O-ring now.
(I see you kept back the 'back-up' O-ring if one breaks technic, nice, I shall keep that quite)

I'm looking at this set up, also have a throttle rocker, how easy is it to slide the 'O' ring to its locking position? I'm looking more for resting the right wrist for a short while rather than a 'cruise control' effect.
Cheers GS Biker!!

The "Classic" caterpillar O ring is part no 8M5266 or alternatively 8m4991. Made of Yellow weather resistant neoprene ... looks reallly good on the bumblebee GS and actually works very well. Costs less than AUD$5 in OZ
