Thumb friction screw

Here's what you need for the thumb wheel to make it simple to use. Engages & disengages in 1/3 of a turn.

It looks simple and effective.
I may have to give it a try.
Thanks,
Cheers,

There are 2 other devices that do the same thing but you have to tap a new thread in the existing hole. Also the cost 120.00 & up.

Secret is to not lock it all the way down, just enough friction to stop the throttle from returning (dead man throttle is a throttle with the return spring removed - old school).
Didn't want an arguement, just wnted to know if anyone has done this, and what they did to make the thumb wheel longer, so I guess I'll be the first.

I have the thumbscrew cruise on my '96 Electra Glide. I like it except where there is alot of hills. I learned that the trick for me is not to tighten it too much so I can still twist the throttle up or down without too much effort or having to keep adjusting it.

On a wide open road throttle lock is a nice little item to give your hand a break for a minute. I set it so it just barely holds the throttle in place. You can still roll the throttle forward if you need to with it engaged if necessary.
