FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cock & Lock

Q. Is the "Cock & Lock" installation difficult?
A. No. Reading the directions takes longer than the manual act itself. Allow about 5 minutes. If in the dark or blindfolded allow about 9 minutes for installation (allow much longer to read directions under the latter conditions)

Q. Is there more than one version of the "Cock & Lock"?
A. No. Not any more.

Q. Will the "Cock & Lock" really lock up the throttle?
A. No. The word lock is a misnomer as the device applies friction to resist throttle movement rather than preventing it. The friction is easily overcome with a twist in either direction.

Q. Does it take both hands to set the "Cock & Lock"?
A. No. The thumb of the right hand (if facing forward) does it all.

Q. Do you offer the "Cock & Lock" chrome plated?
A. No. The appearance is meant to compliment the stock switch housing. You may want to have the part chromed - if so, please call me to discuss this. You could look into clear or color anodizing also.

Q. It looks so simple, how did you arrive at the price?
A. Design and prototype. Two years and 16,000+ miles of testing, mold building, investment casting, secondary machine work, patent costs, polishing, packaging, etc.

Q. Will the "Cock & Lock" be available for other makes and models?
A. No. The concept will not adapt. (see "Cam-Lock" as a possibility).

Q. Are any modifications (drilling, cutting, gluing, etc.) necessary for installation?
A. None.

Q. Will the "Cock & Lock" maintain a constant speed up & down hills?
A. No, but there is an aftermarket product, for various bikes, that will do this. Try "Sport Touring Accessories" at 1-800-889-5550.

Q. Will this throttle control work with custom/after-market grips?
A. Probably not without modification. It will work just fine with leather, lace-on covers over stock grips. It will not work with the unmodified "Kuryakyn" grips. It will work with "Big Bike Parts" 6 Bar CNC grips #17-351 without modification.

CLOCK SPOT

Q. Can I buy the "Clock Spot" without the clock? It looks cheap!
A. No. But I do agree that it looks cheap and it is - for three bucks throw it away! The idea is that if you dislodge it by tossing a pair of winter gloves (or whatever) at that space between risers and instruments or some lowlife swipes it you aren't out much. If this does happen I will send you as many (cheap) replacements as you want at $3.00 a pop.

Q. How do you set the clock? I lost/tossed the directions.
A. Play around with both buttons. It will probably come back to you. If that fails send me an S.A.S.E. and I will send you a copy of the directions (that you can read WITHOUT glasses).

Q. Why do you call it a "Clock Spot"?
A. DUH! - Call it anything you like!

Q. How soon can I expect my deposit refund?
A. It will be mailed to you within five working days from the receipt of your stock clamp.

TEMP STICK

Q. There any part of the “Temp Stick” that can come loose and fall into the engine?
A. No.

Q. Why use stainless steel to thread into the engine.
A. To avoid any possibility of an aluminum threaded fixture “cold welding” into place.

Q. Is the “Temp Stick” the same for the VTX 1800 and the VTX 1300
A. No the probe is a different length and the thread is a different size (20mm - VTX 1800), (24mm – VTX 1300).

GALFERS

Q. Does Galfer still offer braided lines in pink?
A. No Ma'am – Sorry

Q. Why are the “Wave Rotors” so expensive?
A. They are laser cut which eliminates warping rather then stamped which create dense metal at cut-out edges producing unequal expansion.

Q. How soon can you ship custom length lines?
A. Normally they are made-up the same day as your order is received. Allow a week to receive them.
