Installed the Throttle Mate cruise control yesterday. For $16.00 you can't beat it. Simple sometimes is the best. Took her out for a ride and a big difference compared to the star thumb nut. Worked great!
Thanks for posting; I'll have to keep this in mind to replace the homemade one I had that grew legs and walked away awhile back. Unfortunately I can't remember the size of the fastener I used to fit into the single cable throttle housing on my bike.
This the one I installed because my star-wheel threads stripped out from using it too much.
Greatest thing since sliced bread, I love it & was fairly easy to install and works great with minimal effort.
Here's another choice to consider. Recently saw this device and ordered one for 10 bucks. It's on the way so I can't say much else about it but I liked the way it attached to the star nut instead of a clamping device with a set screw. This is called the Klever Lever.

Had one of those. I liked the attachment method too - right up until it fell off at 60 mph as I tried to adjust it.
Went to the Throttle Mate and haven't had any trouble in several seasons now. The set screw just works better because you can torque it down a bit.
