Found this at a rally and tried it. It works great for instant on instant off throttle locking, and can be used with heavy gloves.

Price is 12.50 Contact Email clariwood@zianet.com. Business phone 505-623-2552.

Unlocked position

Locked position

I am not affiliated this company, and I did not post this to advertise. Just something I found that works well, and thought others might be interested in.

It takes about 1 minute to install using a small phillips screwdriver.

Regards,

Bill

Bill,

Does it simply work the existing star wheel?

Mac,

It clamps to the star wheel with one set screw and just tightens or loosens the star wheel by moving the lever.

I have attempted to contact these people via phone or e-mail. Both appear to be incorrect. Anybody have the correct info to order these? I would really like to get my hands on a couple for myself and friends.

Joe,

I took the phone number and E-mail address off of the card that they gave me. If I see them again, or can find some more information I'll get it for you.

There is a rally in our area over Labor Day Weekend. While I am not going to the rally, I will have someone that is going look for them. I will get you a couple if they find them.

Regards,

Bill

I haven't been able to get any more info on these. I tried calling the number I had on the card, and didn't get the right person. I am still trying to get a good address and number.

ALL RIGHT, I,m on it. Dialing the number as I type (multi tasking ya know). Thank you very much for the detective work. I will buy a few of them and Keep extras in the bike so when I meet people I will say "hey you need one of these". Spread them around kinda like Johnny Throttle Seed.

Got the Throttle Mate ups today. I purchased the Friction wheel, spring, and c-clip plus the friction shoe from the local Stealer. With some extra work it can be made to function on the ultra. OK so you ask why put it on the ultra? Some times ya just wanna scratch something but not set the cruise control. This lets you briefly hold the throttle locked to scratch/adjust or shake the kinks out of your hand. I did need to chuck up the knob on a lathe to very carefully cut it down to fit in the space available. A little careful filing on the throttle mate and shortening the set screw also got it to fit. Ugly job but sometimes ya just gotta do it.
For you people that do not need to deal with cruise control fit is not an issue. This is a real trick little gizzmo that no Harley should be without.

Joe

PS

This will not work very well if you have after market heated grips. The wire loop that allows the throttle to twist without binding gets in the way. At some point I will reengineer the throttle mate size to work with the grips. For now call me "Frosty Digits".

If you are interested (560 hits last count so I guess so) these folks just put up a web site. www.throttlemate.com. Looks like they offer it for metrics as well.
I love gadgets.

Had mine for several weeks now. Love it, works great and it's nice to help loosen that grip of death.

I t is just a extened lever that attaches to your friction thumb screw on the throttle (which is incredibly difficutl to get right).
the lock allows you to release your grip on the throttle and shake of the cramps or numbness or what ever discomfort you me be experiencing. Sort of like manual cruise control.

I found the Throttle Mate on Ebay by seller XRatedCycles. They also have a nifty ring that open bottles. See for yourself and search them out on Ebay.

I love my Throttlemate. IT's saved my right hand numerous times. Provideds just enough relief to shake out the numbness. The lady I spoke with was ultra nice and shipped the day I ordered. Had it in two days. Was about $12.00 shipped. Installed in 30 seconds.

not the same, but I have grips with a throttle rocker on them and I just rest my palm on the throttle to hold it smooth on the highway -- no cramps anymore.
