FXR?

See the pic. below. I know this is probably a question for JP Cycles but do you think they really mean Softail or FXR? I thought the FXR was a specific bike. I wonder if they are using FXR to refer to HDs with "rubber mounted engines". Yeah, I'll call them and ask. I was just interested in some HDF feedback. Thanks.

Works rather well actually. I was not sure when I bought it, but fig. for $5.00 what the hell.
My FXDI (RIP) had a Throttle Boss but you still would need to adjust the throttle tension while riding if you wanted to give your right hand a real rest. This way you just flip the lever.

RE: FXR?

How is it fastened to the bike? I guess I wonder if it will fall off?

RE: FXR?

Since the FXR uses a star-head tension screw that would probably work. Good question, though--it sounds like they're saying those won't fit Dynas.

RE: FXR?

Does the one from ebay look different from the one in the JP Cycles catalog? The JP one looks a bit thicker to me. It's hard to tell in the ebay photo.
