I've always used these on my bikes. Had been told nobody made them for Harley's. Discovered this one on AMAZON.....Sound Off Recreational Cruise Control # 074046, about $28.
A few minor modifications are required and the included instructions are terrible. As to mods: the bracket that attaches to the screw UNDERNEATH the throttle assembly needs to be filed down quite a bit for the hole in the bracket to fit over the screw underneath the throttle assembly. And, this same bracket needs to straightened and the end that attaches to the actual throttle lock bent to a sharp right angle. Otherwise, a very simple installation.
I love this throttle lock because it holds the throttle in place, relieving stress on right wrist. Also, you can still rotate the throttle while the lock is engaged. This is great for small speed adjustments as well as emergency braking etc.
Of course, extreme caution is required while using this as the throttle will not automatically reduce speed in case of an accident or emergency braking.... But I've never experienced any such problems and have used these types of throttle locks extensively.
