Cruising around
I use to have a 69 Harley Electra Glide. The throttle did not have return spring. I could let go of the handgrip, and the Harley would cruse. Do the new Harleys like the Fat Boy or Heritage Classic have a throttle return spring or can you put cruse control one of these?

I had a '70 the same way... loved the no throttle return spring...
Run both my Sportster and Bones with the throttle stop tightened up where they don't return by themselves...
But don't think I'm going the cruise control thing though...

Mine has a throttle return spring. It also has a thumbscrew that you can tighten to keep the throttle from returning too easily or quickly. It will also reduce the play in the throttle. I leave mine with a little play and don't adjust while riding. I also use a throttle rocker on the grip so I don't have to keep a constant grip, just pressure.

I wouldn't ride myself without the throttle return spring. However, I put apes on my old Road Star. The first thing I did was get rid of the throttle return cable. I may do the same when I put apes on the Heritage.
