I can see this thing scratching the crap out of the switch housing. Sportsters already come with a thumb screw, BTW.

My right hand goes numb very quickly, so I'm definately going to go with some kind of cruise control.

I was considering one of these called a brakeaway cruise control. Has anyone tried one? They're quite pricey $200.00? but they look quite hi-tech, and they can be released when you pull on the front brake lever.

here is a youtube video of it.

and here is a Kuryaken video showing installation:

Problem with those is you don't have the space to turn them far enough. Either you start with the screw too tight, where the grip won't snap back, or else you can't tighten it enough to lock it later. I tried one on a long trip - luckily I had a throttle rocker, when that didn't work.

Then again, the one the OP posted says it is desigend for "original rubber grips" that nobody has on their bike.

It is so simple, some people will trash it; but it works.
By far, this throttle lock is the most luxury for the dollar I've ever bought.

Did you get 0% financing for 6 months on that....LOL...Works right?

I feel like I'm hijacking my own thread! Just want to report that I bought the throttle lock in the link below, and think it just might be a pretty good product. Problem is, I can't properly test it as my mirror stalk is too low and it integers with the throttle lock.

If someone has tall stalks or no mirrors, PM me and I will send it to you, no charge. I'm just curious whether or not it really works as ll as advertised.

I haven't had much success with the other inexpensive friction locks out there, but this one looks kind of interesting.
