The thumb-controlled throttle control screw
So... On my '15 Sportster 48, I had that thumb-controlled **** underneath the throttle. I just realized that on my '17 Softail Slim, it's gone. The place where it threads into underneath the throttle is there, but the screw with the plastic star on the end is gone.
Did Harley ditch them, or did mine just fall out some place? Also, there is no mention of them in my owner's manual, and I can't find any mention of them in the shop manual.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz

Checked the parts microfiche site. No throttle lock screw shown.

There's one on mine, I use it as a hillbilly cruise control sometimes.
