Determine Fitment for the ATLAS Throttle Lock

[@Mark_Estelle]

I've just purchased one of your top kits for my 2021 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S and was wondering will the Atlas Throttle Lock come out further then the left hand controls so I don't accidentally hit the kill switch disengaging the Atlas Throttle Lock with gloves on?

[@ForeverUnknowing]

Shouldn't be a problem!

[@Mark_Estelle]

@@ForeverUnknowing Do you have a Harley-Davidson and the Atlas Throttle Lock on your motorcycle or you just assuming it won't be a problem?

[@ForeverUnknowing]

@@Mark_Estelle I don't own a Harley, but I do own an Atlas (couple of them), and they have videos on KZbin showing the Atlas installed on Harley bikes.

[@Mark_Estelle]

@@ForeverUnknowing Hey do you mind giving me the link to some of those videos because I'm not as technologically advanced enough to maneuver my way through KZbin to find but thr one video with the Atlas Throttle Lock already installed on a Harley-Davidson and in the video he didn't operate the Atlas Throttle Lock in the demonstration of the product. So that's why I ask my question. If you can give me the link to some of those videos you have seen your help will be greatly appreciated.

@@Mark_Estelle This must be the one I saw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWexZJ2Kg7yHl80 I thought there were others by ATLAS themselves on Harley bikes but I guess I was mistaken. You can clearly see the placement on the throttle tube, though, and the position of the Top Kit away from the housing. They do have videos showing the operation on different bikes (also the Top Kit, like what you have), and you can see that in operation you're not going to be pressing your kill switch by accident. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWicoH1qrrh5bq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSYan6De6Z1aKc Hope that helps!

Can you buy extra rubber when the original kit is worn out?

[@ATLASMoto]

Yes, we sell replacement pads on the website!

Wait! You didn't answer the question! What do you actually do if you don't have the clearance between the throttle body and the the grip flange when your grip is glued down. Now what? Send it back? If I have to do this it's gonna suck! I needed a solution for my planned trip in less than 3 days! It took a week to get it!

[@ATLASMoto]

It depends on the bike and grip, but if you just have rubber grips glued to a standard throttle tube, these can often be pulled back to make more room. That is to say, you pull on the rubber grip flange to roll it back, install the ATLAS, and roll the grip back into place. You could also use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the glue, and then slip over the entire grip. You can reach out to our install guru at [e-mail], and he will help you with any issues you have with installs!

[@mikesbikechannel4387]

@ATLASMoto I was able to fit the kit in spite of the lack of clearance. After I tightened the included screw all the way in to a "reasonable" torque, I was able to then back the screw out until the throttle was free floating. This seemed to work without obstructing the throttle free play. Now to test it on an actual ride in a couple of days as the weather clears. One suggestion, the weight of the unit is substantial to the point of slightly slowing the torsional rotation of the throttle return. While that, in and of itself, is not inherently dangerous, you may consider lightening the unit by using aluminum instead of steel.

[@ATLASMoto]

Sounds like you got it installed ok! It is possible to over tighten the bolt and pinch the throttle tube, but backing off the bolt in tiny increments until the throttle frees up is indeed the solution for that. The ATLAS does add a few ounces to the throttle tube and thus does slightly slow throttle return. We haven't found this to be a major issue, but have considered an aluminum build.

what about for a 94 honda goldwing interstate with no wires? Just the starter button.

[@ATLASMoto]

Bottom Kit should work fine on that bike. If you're not sure, email us at [e-mail] with pictures of your grip and throttle housing, and we'll take a look at it and help you determine fitment!

[@Ventcis]

I am puzzled because to install cruise control on my bike will cost me £200 and to buy the Atlas £124…🤔

[@ATLASMoto]

That would definitely depend on the motorcycle. Some bikes may have a factory option available that can be added on (usually expensive) and some bikes may be able to use an aftermarket electronic cruise (usually finicky and not plug and play). The majority of motorcycles will be well suited with a throttle lock setup like the ATLAS.

[@anonymousperson7889]

This product works well but is ridiculously over priced. $150 is a joke.

I'm glad we could make you laugh AND stay in business at the same time. Win Win!
