So at the risk of being made fun of again I'm looking for that throttle holder thing that you just press down in stead of having to hold it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance.

see Throttlemeister - Home, the thing to the right of the throttle. The thing at my palm is just as a throttle position reference.
What you seek (I think) is called a Throttle Lock.

What the heck, this actually locks your throttle? Sounds dangerous...
I run mine all of the time. It is adjusted so that there is just enough tension to hold the throttle at the last position if you let go. But any force at all in the forward direction and it smoothly rolls off. I have a fairly bad case of corporal tunnel and my right hand looses all feeling if I can't let off my grip fairly often. These things make holding a steady throttle position in the bumps far easier.

See this is my problem I have noticed, I start looking for a $10 plastic part and then find out there is a $200 "nicer" alternative... :shaking head:
I have to win the lottery this time, I just have to!
Yup, for some folks $10 solutions are enough, for others it's worth spending the extra money to get something nicer. I've found over time that when I cheap out on something I usually end up wishing I had just spent the extra money to get what I really wanted. This is such a case... the improved function and safety of the Breakaway vs. the NEP was worth the price difference to me.

My FZ1 came with a rudimentary throttle lock which I promptly removed.
I've found that unless a bike is an extreme torture rack, a throttle lock is really not necessary if you take the time to exercise good body mechanics while on the bike. Things like squeezing the tank with your legs, engaging your core muscles (suck in your gut) and keeping weight off your arms will really help you remain comfortable all day long.
Riding to Vegas from South Dakota? What a Man, then it hit me your SD location must be San Diego. If you can't get the throttlemiester before your trip at least pick up the cheap throttle rocker for some help on the trip. How about posting some pics of your ride when you return.
