Is it a bar end weight or does it have further functionality. Could be the name that made me think it is a type of throttle control for cruising.
Throttlemeister
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.

So I got a second hand Throttlemeister off of the little e big B for a good price because it was involved in a tip over. It was supposedly off of a Multistrada 1200. I looked it over and thought it would fit the SuperSport so i ordered it.
Once i got it in it was immediately obvious that it was not, I guess my research was off.

So instead of just a paint job i now needed to find a way to mount this. I got to work with bits i had around.

Now that i have the mounting situation solved and have done several dry fits, i set to work painting because of the blemish and i did not feel the silver went with the bike.

Nice!!! If you find it moving, or doesn’t sit like you want it to, call Throttlemeister and they’ll happily sell you the “correct” mounting kit for around $40.So I got a second hand Throttlemeister off of the little e big B for a good price because it was involved in a tip over.

Looks great, though. I was looking at that one last week and thought about picking it up. I’m still holding out hope for an actual cruise control, at least until spring rolls around!!!
