eh same diff.

My Ipod was free, so I'm not complaining.

So who's got a website that sells throttlemeister bar end cruise cheap?

[Mr Lefty]

my throttle lock sucked ass... Rae had the throttlemister and it wouldn't work for shit for her either...

I may still get one... if only for a 2-3 min break for my wrist... but not to use as a true cruise control... nothing is a substitute for electronic cruise control

Yeah, but you had a gay ass one.
I'm looking at the bar end cruise. I believe it was Jtemple that has one and said it worked wonders.
All the buell guys say it works great on the 1125.

See... there's your problem.
You took advice from Drewpy...


And Rae is probalby just too short to reach the bar end while riding

No,no,no! The throttle meister is 100% dependent on installation (sorry Rae) if it doesn't work,I guarantee it's the install. I've had it on every bike since 1995.

I've installed a lot of Throttlemeisters (> 20 sets, mostly on BMWs). There is a 'trick' to getting the adjustment right. The primary cluprit for difficulty in operation is usually traceable to properly cutting out the end of the grip rubber to clear the attachment point. The other problem(s) for most of the installs is either in not cleaning out the inside of the open bar end or overtightening the adapter/insert into the end of the handlebar. If you have threaded bar ends, the adjustment is by moving the throttle tube assembly.

I've had 100% success in installing these and having happy users...

YMMV (and apparently has).

The Ultra Classic is a great bike!

I've only had a few miles to ride one, but its comfortable and a lot more capable than most people think. Congrats! I've come close a few times to buying a Sportster 1200, also an excellent choice.

Yep,in fact I had to buy a new throttle tube for this bike because I had cut the tube too short at first.

If it was easy, there would be no need for mechanics - shadetree or otherwise...
