So, since I am considering getting one also and it seems the group agrees on the heavy ones for vibe relief, my question is regular finish or polished

I'm going for the heavy, polished ones. Then I'm painting them with Duplicolor's Metalcast paint to give it an anodized look.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I've got the heavy polished ones...they feel very good, not cheaply made...look nice on the Busa...

Oh, what's that? You want a picture of my Busa?

Love mine......
The only problem with any mechanical locking device for setting your speed is the fact it doesn't compensate for hills, wind, etc....

Good thing the Lord gave us a brain to compensate for those variables

It's too bad they don't come with a real cruise control.

Here is a link to see it in action. You can see the inner gold piston come out and engage the throttle in the animation.

More worried about being ticketed for illegally displaying the plate, but damn, it looks good...
