Throttle levers

[Stxray]

I have a new to me 2004 FXHO Cruiser. Has 73 hrs. Last time I rode it for 2-4 hours. Next morning my middle throttle finger is messed up bad froM arthritis (I’m 65 and also race motorcycles so that doesn’t help). I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make using the throttle easier on my fingers? Do the aftermarket billet ones help at all? I wear gloves when riding. Have lubed the throttle cable. Does anyone make a bigger lever or can the thumb ones like a old Seadoo be fitted? I jet ski about 100 hrs a year here in central FLorida.

Re: Throttle levers

You need a throttle that locks in place. You may have to create your own. I do not think you will find one on the shelf. I had a motorcycle in the 70's that had a locking throttle. This is what you need

Thank you! I have that on my street motorcycle. Gave me something to think about.

Re: Throttle levers

I find riding gloves help. I'm your age.
