Without some sort of throttle lock, though, I can't do the same with my right hand.  I used to have a cheap plastic "lever lock" on my old Suzuki which was simple but effective...I really liked it.  Has anybody seen or tried one that would fit a 916?  I've tried using the built-in "fast idle" button, but it never seems to hold the bike at the proper speed.  I'm not really looking for something fancy or expensive, just a simple device that will lock the throttle so I can get the feeling back in my hand!

Mark, I dont know if it would work for you but my son uses a o-ring next 
to the grip for friction
and just kind of sildes it over on long rides for a cheap cruise 
control. You can still move the
throttle but it holds it enough to remove your hand and exercise it a 
bit.
