throttle tender
Does any one know if the Barefoot ******* Throttle Tender works on a 2003 Dyna Super Glide Sport?

finally looked at the underside of my throttle and YES! it has the 5 point adjustment ****, I ordered the throttle tender, cup holder, and 2 extra clamps, one I'm going to update a cell phone holder, the other for my GoPro
check out the GoPro mount HERE

it gives you leverage on the screw and even better IMO, easier access by extending out past the throttle cables

I didn't have much of a chance to test it on my way to work Friday, but yesterday some co-workers and I took a splendid run to Tucson through Coolidge, Florence, Oro Valley, then back to Phoenix through Oracle, Winkleman, Kearny and Superior for a total of 311 miles, I engaged the throttle tender several times and found it does a decent job of holding the throttle in position, I do not believe vibration was causing it to loosen
on the other hand, I feel that given the limited amount of rotation travel, while the screw is in the open (unlocked) position, it is still almost engaging the throttle, perhaps scratching it, and while in the set or locked position it could still be tighter as I was able to tweak the throttle up or down against the screw which I'm afraid could carve a groove in the throttle
as far as the Dr Cruize not working the way you'd like, I think it has to do with the wide profile at the base of the arm, in this respect the barefoot ******* tender is much slimmer allowing for more rotation travel
I must say the tender did hold the throttle in the position I set it but as I "cruised" I quickly realized at least half the fun of motorbikin' is the ability to instantly change speed so I found myself primarily using the tender to rest my right hand/arm as it would numb up
