Abstract

A motorcycle throttle control comprised of a housing clamped to the throttle handle grip of a motorcycle having a locking arm adapted to engage a cog section mounted on the handle bar adjacent to the throttle handle grip. The cog section is rigidly fixed on the handle bar while the locking arm and housing rotate with the throttle handle grip. The locking arm has biasing means biasing it into engagement with the teeth of the cog section, locking the throttle handle grip at the position desired. The throttle control is released by disengaging the locking arm from the cog section.
