Default 50's Boy Throttler

Has anyone with a non-cruise control Touring model installed one of these? If so, I do you like it?

I would like to know, also. Will it work with Kuryakyn Iso Grips?

Maybe ... If you take a look at this site:
http://www.machomanjack.com/store/in...products_id=10

The drop down list includes ISO/Kuryakyn under Grip Type. I have a couple of friends that saw these at bike week in Phoenix and thought the product was very nice. We went riding last week and they were both talking about how they needed to order one for their bikes. I'll provide feedback once I hear some from them.

MRSR71: Had one installed on my former bike, a 2006 Deuce. It really worked well!. It is considerably cheaper that the add-on electronic cruise from HD. I have the electronic cruise on my Ultra, but have no reservations recommending the Throttler.

Don,t get mad ,but I have one on my Valkyrie Interstate.
But it is called a break away.It will release when you hit the brake.
I think it is a few dollars more ,but worth it.

I spoke with Eric at 50's Boy and confirmed that it will work with the ISO grips. He said that it fit the ISO grips perfectly and made for a factory looking install.

I have had the Breakaway cruise control for over 5 yrs...and it works wonderfully....I have seen the Throttler in Daytona and its very well made and can be release by turning forward and I'm sure it works as well....I know that hitting my front break just comes naturally and it release's the CC at the same time and that usually what you want or need to do.....Luis
