After my first nearly 200 mile ride I now fully understand the concept of a cramped throttle hand. I tried to find an OEM or aftermarket electronic cruise control for my 1989 FLHS but I can't find anything. I understand how the cruise system works on the original 1989 (I think it was the FLHT) that had it, with a pickup at the tach and the control box, handlebar controls, linkages, etc.

I've been looking at the throttle friction locks, from the cheap ones that snap on the friction adjustment **** to the ones that install around the handlebar. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'll ask for advice.

Is there an aftermarket electronic cruise control for an 89 FLHS? (I'm not worried about installing one, I worked military and civilian avionics and have installed autopilots/servos/wiring on small aircraft as well as serviced the ones on big aircraft).

If not that, a source for refurbished/salvaged 1989 FLHT cruise control setups?

If none of that, what's the best out there for a friction control on the throttle?

 

Does your bike not have the thumb wheel between the throttle cables?

 

Bike's not here right now, it's in the shop for a 10k mile check and some minor things.

Oh. Never mind. I just looked at pics I took a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it does.

 

I have a CrampBuster I'll give you if you pay the shipping.

Is that 'cause you don't like it or 'cause you have an extra one?

Seriously, is it any good? I saw the web site but it seems like it's just to rest your palm on it. ??

 

It works for what it is intended. I thought it would help my carpal tunnel syndrome, but the only thing that helps that is not having my hand on the bars.

 

Ok, I'll give it a try. Which one do you have? How much do you need me to send to you and how?

 

I adapted an oem kit to my 1993 FLHS. If you are looking for an electronic cruise, I would try and locate a used one from an 89-92 TourGlide.

 

That's what I was thinking, but for me it has to be one from an 89. From 90 on up it's a different system with pickups on the tach -and- the speedo.

 

Could try one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400205857076...84.m1423.l2649
