Cruise Control??
might sound weak, but any ideas for a simple cruise control locking device, no wires? 'brake away' may not fit all grips and don't think '**** and lock' is available for HD.

Thumbscrews are dangerous. In a quick situation, you won't be able to get that thing loose fast enough to rev down.

I replaced the thumb screw with a Throttle Locker.
Very simple to lock and easy to unlock, even with gloves on.

Some of us have been using the thrumb screw for years and before that it was the dead man's throttle (no return spring).
