How about this: http://cruise-mate.com
It's not a simple Plug-n-Play item and the install probably took me a couple hours. You have to remove your old thumbscrew the drill out the threads and re-tap it to 3/8" - 20 pitch. They do supply a Drill & Tap Jig to make it as idiot-proof as possible. Basically the install was pretty simple. And the end results couldn't be better.

I have been trying different versions of redneck cruise and have not really been too happy with anything I've tried yet. The clip-on paddle style worked pretty well, but broke in a month. The Kuryakyn throttle assist takes up too much space on my grip for my liking.
I like the idea of using some form of a throttle holder for warm up rather than the enrichener while putting my gloves on. I don't really plan on using it much on the road, but occasionally when on open highway.
I have seen the boss under the clamp between the cables as well as the paddle that attaches to the stock thumb wheel, but I seem to be missing the thumb wheel. I don't know if my bike ever had one to begin with. What do I need to add the stock throttle tension holder to my bike? Is it just the thumb wheel or is there some internal piece I need as well? Part numbers would be very handy as I haven't had much luck searching for it.

X2 on the Cruise Mate! It's the best $50.00 I ever spent on my bike. You will regret buying any of the half-a$$ cheap ****, but nobody could possibly regret buying the cruise mate. They're perfect!

I have a homemade version of the Throttle Mate, but I have every intention of getting the Cruise Mate as mentioned in the quoted reply. Just makes sense. The thumb wheel isn't intended to be used as a cruise control, but it works. However, I think the threads won't last long.
My bike is an Ultra, so it has cruise control, but it's coming off for the under seat battery mod. So I decided to use the thumb wheel for now, just to get used to it.
I am thinking of trying this cruise package from Audiovox though. It's pretty inexpensive and I think with just a little rewiring, it can be operated from my factory handle bar controls.
You might take a look at it as well. You can get it with control switch from the same seller.
PANHEADRICH-I cannot get enough of that softail. It is absolutely beautiful. I love it when you post pics.

14 bucks and it works great.
I bought mine at a rally, so no shipping.
I would buy it again.
