Throttle adjustment

Not sure where to post this question but here goes. I currently have a 2015 Ultra Limited Low. Previously had 2010 Heritage Classic. The Heritage had a screw adjuster on the throttle but the Ultra does not. I got used to the throttle adjuster on long trips where I could put some drag on the throttle and rest my hands. The Ultra does have cruise control but i'd prefer using the drag adjuster. Is there any way to install a screw adjuster on the Ultra?

I don't think it's compatible because the 08 and up touring family are drive by wire. You might be able to put a throttle locker on. I prefer the cruise on my bike. But to each their own

No way I would go back to the throttle screw from cruise.

Why don't you like to use the cruise? Twist the grip forward or just bump the hand brake and it shuts off. I use mine every chance I get.

This. This is my first bike I've had with cruise, and no way would I go without it now.

Yeah, I really don't get what you're after here. You bought a bike with superior functionality. Use it. It may take a moment for you to get used to the change, but that's normal with anything different from what you've been using.
