Default advice?
hey all,

i am looking at adding some sort of throttle control to the Rocker that i have....

i found this, http://www.cas4.com/billet50/tms.html and was REALLY REALLY wanting any advice from you all.....

Either if you have used something similiar to this, or have ideas on the use of this.

thanks!

This looks like a well designed and safe throttle lock device. I like the fact that it disengages as soon as you squeeze the front brake. Could be a lifesaver in a panic situation. I like it better than screwing in the friction **** on my Road King.

Is cruise control out of the question?

Did you try the cheap solution? A throttle rocker is less than $10. Might relieve your cramps without spending a bunch of money. I don't know anything about that cruise control device.

Awesome. they look really cool, and their customer support seems great. The problem is that they haven't tested one on the rocker, yet. i want to order one, but at this point, if for some reason it doesnt work/fit, or whatever, i cannot return it, until it's tested on the Rocker....

Unless the throttle assembly is different on the Rocker (than everything else HD sells) it should work. But, at 200 bucks I'd want to hear BrakeAway say it will work fine, I don't blame you for waiting.
