Cruise-Mate Throttle Assist // IronBraid.com

Cruise-Mate is an easy to use lever operated throttle assist. Using Cruise-Mate takes about as much effort as operating your directional signal button, operates in 1/4 turn or less. Once installed, Cruise-Mate is extremely reliable and easy to operate. When you want to set the throttle simply flip lever forward (towards front of bike), you can still turn throttle once Cruise-Mate is set. Flip lever back (toward rear of bike) and throttle returns to normal operation. When adjusted properly the throttle does not lock completely and can be turned back to the closed position without touching the lever in the event of an emergency. Is not a cruise control, and will not maintain speed when going uphill.

Kriega Motorcycle Backpack Review

Post author By Morgan Gales
Post date July 1, 2015

If you’ve ever spent time on your bike with a shoddy backpack, you know the havoc it can wreak on your back, neck and shoulders. Having a properly designed pack that’s built around your riding experience can make all the difference.

Put simply, this bag is a masterpiece of motorcycle luggage.

I have been wearing the R25 for a couple weeks now and I am still finding myself impressed by the little innovations. The harness is equipped with two locking clips that can be used with your gloves on, and sits narrow enough on your chest to not restrict your arms at all while riding. The straps also open up quite wide, so you don’t have to wrestle your arms into the straps while wearing protective gear. The fit is quickly adjustable and once set, will not easily slide out of place, also there are clips on the ends of all loose straps to prevent whipping at speed.The entire back is constructed of nylon ripstop, except for the reflective patches and the Dupont Cordura in the straps and base. It just doesn’t let up. Every detail was purpose-built and it shows. So far, this is the best backpack I have had the pleasure of wearing.
