Heel Stop

[Smitty335]

This is an experiment. I know about the Throttle Max but was wanting something easier to clean around. This cost me $1.24 for the SS screws. I used it some and seems to work to keep to give your foot an anchor point for your heel when things get greasy on the floor?

Yes, Several people have similar things.
Really helps with foot control to limit the jerking.
I have one on the Talon and use it all the time.

You wasted $1.24.

How so? I can use the screws for something else! Could have sold them to @JenElio for his knees! HA!

I find that shoes with worn, slipery soles work better than high traction grippy ones to help smooth things a bit. 👞

Nice Talon, @Smitty335 - congratulations. 👍

Potential winner of the day!

Unless you got feet like Donald Duck, get the Throttle Max or make your own with a strap hinge . . .

The Talon/Pioneer would likely be a good candidate for drive by wire to smooth things out. I'm not sure if any UTVs use it yet.

Now you tell me!!!!!!......

A few caveats . . . be sure to clean the screws really well with alcohol prior to installing. Hopefully they are stainless, less risk of issues due to internal rusting and stiff joints*. Use a good impact driver as it will run the screws in faster, so less chance you'll stop half way due to the intense pain. Speaking of which, biting on a bullet or old leather belt can be helpful (worked during the Civil War, I hear).

Once you get this under your belt, so to speak, you'll be ready for the DIY appendicitis kit. *And speaking of stiff joints, the DIY penile implant kit should be swinging into the marketplace any day now - look for both on your supermarket shelves (replacing food items that used to be there).

Drive by wire has been around for a while. My 2015 Commander had it. Does help smooth out the bumps.

Honda used to be known for ergonomics. You would think they would be able to design a throttle pedal with proper geometry and that compliments the awesome DCT tranny. Maybe the gen. 3 version will be drive by wire. If they wait long enough all UTVs will be electric everything anyway.

My RMAX is drive by wire. It takes all the jerky throttle out of the equation

Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I found out that it is cable driven. However, the DCT makes up for not having a rubber band drive.

Agreed. For any perceived shortcomings there is a reason we all chose a Honda.
