Thank you for the information you have been so helpful. But some of us are not as blessed as you to have "REAL" cruise on it and I'm not spending $800 for the parts and install it myself.
All I wanted was opinions about what others are using as far as throttle locks yes it does help me out with speeding I can set it just right and be able to move the throttle a lil to slow down and speed up

Hmm... don't know... maybe with a longer screw you can get it to fit the wider bars?
I think the product you're looking for is called Vista Cruise (http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/vi...07-4046-HARLEY). I had one on one of my previous bikes, and it does the intended job well.
I got to checking into this and doesn't seem they make one for chubby bars (Wild Ones)????

My current bike has cruise.... and of course I love it! But on my old WG, when I tried using the twisty thingy it would always vibrate loose and I would lose speed. Never trusted it, so I got one of those palm throttle grip thingys. The plastic one that attaches to your throttle grip. Helped alot with the wrist issues on longer rides.

Locking the trottle will not keep a steady enough speed to stop someone from getting a speeding ticket.

Anytime. I have rheumatoid arthritis and periodically have wrist, elbow, shoulder as well as ankle and feet issues. It's a strange and cruel disease, but modern meds help a lot. The little plastic throttle clip made riding much more comfortable. Just adjust it right and rest your wrist on it to maintain speed. Worked great.

cruise buddy v. JP
I just ordered the Cruise Buddy based on what I saw here and on the manufacturer's website. () J&P Cycles has its own brand for about 20 bucks less, but you have to drill and tap during the install. The reviewers said the install is easy, but the Cruise Buddy install looks a lot easier with no drill and tap...one less thing to screw up.
