Now don't git yer Kanickers in a Kahnot - it's not what you thunk; it's "family safe"
For all of you who are considering installing the Kaoko throttle lock yourself, here's are pictures (not too great, mind you) of what caused me - and from the posts I've seen recently, others - no end of pain when trying to remove the inner doohicky that the bar end/weight screws into (hey, I never claimed to be mechanically inclined) so the Kaoko can be installed. Now that it's out, I'm kinda miffed at myself. Turns out, I almost had the blasted thing out....the rubber (black parts in the pictures) whatever-they-are-designed-for was what was keeping me from pulling the thingy out when I attempted it 2 weekends ago . I brought my NT back down to Twisted this past Friday and they had the lock in place within 15 minutes - 2 pairs of hands and some kind-of-"hammer" later, that is (LOL).
Anyhooo...first picture is the insert with the clip on the end (on the right side/end). The second is the clip after it has been slid off the insert. #3 shows the end partially off. #4 is the insert on end with the clip in place (notice there are no "lips" to latch on to). The last picture is (rather blurry - sorry, did I mention I'm not a photographer either; yeah, not much of anything, I'm afraid :tongue: ) a "cameo" of the fiend! For such a simple contraption, it sure do make one work up a hissy fit trying to figure out how to remove the st000PID thing :mad1: Oh well, now that it's out, I know how to remove it should I decide to do this again (NOT) "for old times sake"
Hope this helps someone out there in NT land
