This is exactly what I was looking for I wasn't sure how to make it fit between the gap on my boulevard so was hesitant on ordering one but now I think I'm sold cheers mate will be getting one sent to Melbourne asap
The chrome portion of the grip has almost NOTHING to do with there not being enough room for simple installation. The black plastic grip INSIDE the chrome grip is where the Atlas locks down, and almost sticks with NO pad. With the #1 pad, actuating the lock flexes the whole throttle lock out because there is no room. The bike throttle needs disassembled, the black inside portion of the grip face shaved, to move the Atlas a little more outboard of the throttle housing. I bought the Atlas for my XVS1300T specifically because of this video. Just spent an hour in the heat, sweating my balls off, trying to get the Atlas installed correctly, and will have to modify the grip to do so.
The chrome flange needs to be moved over for the ATLAS to fit. The chrome flange "floats" on the tube and is being held in place by the rubber portion of the grip. The ATLAS will not fit and function in between the space where the chrome flange and throttle housing are. without moving the chrome flange. No disassembly of the throttle is required. We did Americade in New York just a few weeks ago and installed the ATLAS on multiple bikes with this exact throttle setup, and have been installing them on these bikes for years. Just pull on the rubber portion of the grip to get it away from the chrome flange so the flange will move. The exposed section of the tube under the chrome flange is perfect for the ATLAS with the #2 friction pad. We were installing the ATLAS on these bikes in 3 minutes.
i just received my Atlas and have the same problem with the Yamha Stryker chrome flange. I have pulled the whole throttle bar off and can still not move the flange. If you can show/comment how it was moved it would be much appreciated.
Hey Peter! In the video you can see we use a flat head screwdriver to shift over the chrome plastic portion of the grip, which "floats" on the black plastic portion of the throttle tube. When shifting the chrome section over, you can see it exposes a raised portion of the tube that the ATLAS can mount to. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Hi! Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that the bottom kit will be better for the current bike or similar. Am I right or not? Actually I'm in a process of choice between two options
Probably. These bikes don't typically see much change. If you're not sure, send us a picture of the throttle/grip of what you have to info@atlasthrottlelock.com and we'll figure it out!

Awesome, thank you!
