Installed Throttlemeister on both our SS-S. First, to get the right item. The Throttlemeister website does not show a part for our bikes, so I called them. They do not have one specifically to fit the SS-S and probably won't make one because of the small'ish inside diameter of the handle bar being 14.5mm. After talking with the guys at Throttlemeister, I decided to order two items w/o any sort of expansion fitting so that they have a 6mm stainless screw. Part No. FH AZ3-H.
My thought was to have a local machine shop fabricate a plug with a threaded hole to press fit into the bar, then screw in the Throttlemeister.
When the parts arrived, I wondered if they would just screw into the stock expansion fitting and by sheer chance, it worked.
To install, loosen the hex screw holding in the stock bar end, then take the brass fitting off the stock screw. Then screw the two-part brass fitting onto Throttlemeister and slide back into the bar. The throttle end will take a bit of fine tuning to get the friction just right. That's it.
The pictures show the stock bar end, the brass fittings, the order to put them on the throttlemeister and the finished result.
I have used Throttlemeisters on each of the last 8 bikes I've owned and find them very useful. The heavy weight model also helps dampen vibration and IMHO looks better than the stock bar end.
