Once I installed my kill switch I used engine off coasting a great deal more. Wen I decelerate my order of preference is engine off coast then DFCO in 5th then down shifting then brakes.

My hand throttle is a bicycle shiftier routed to the peddle. get the power setting dialed in with my foot then set it with the lever mounted to my shifter. very low tech but it works and was simple.
