Default 1998 ultra throttle lock

I was told that my ultra should have a throttle lock screw on it and I didn’t remember seeing one so when I got home I took a look and there is a small hole where the guy said it should be, should I have one and if so where can I get the screw for it?

Thanks

It's a little more complicated than just the screw:

I've got an aftermarket throttle lock that uses a lever instead of that screw deal. Works really good and wasn't very expensive. One flick and you can lock/unlock it. Google it and see what pops up. I forget what brand mine is

If your bike came with cruise control than it would not have a screw for a throttle lock

It's more than a lock IMHO, I use it to provide just a little resistance, so the throttle doesn't snap shut or need an iron grip while riding.

Since the OP indicates he has an Ultra, this would be correct.

Thanks for the replies, but question just so I know why would my ultra not have one?
