I finally got busy in the shed today, fitting the cruise control which I had bought a while back and which arrived while the bike was in NSW being repaired yet again!
Apparently the story goes, that the part I fitted is a French or Italian spec Police bike part. Essentially it friction locks the throttle internally on the outer of the nylon throttle cam. It had a knurled screw adjuster to set the required friction point. It replaces part of the standard housing. Pic below.
I then went out and tested it on the freeway for an hour. It is easy to wind on and set. It can be set at a level where it will hold the throttle, but not so much that it makes it difficult to adjust the throttle with your hand. Nice. It's only real fault is that it doesn't have an emergency kill setting. But realistically, you just close the throttle, and as this is easy it won't effect safety!

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
ANyhoo, it may be out of shot, but it's sitting right next to the toaster and the microwave! 
Get rid of it and buy another 9 one for your trips and one for fanging
