Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we have that throttle star to put that lever over it. I've been using the cramp buster and it works pretty well. All you do is lean your palm on it and it holds the throttle open. It works in heavy traffic as well as highway speeds. Unlike the other cruise controls.

For cruise? I haven't noticed anything on mine that looks like it's for throttle control

EDIT: I stand corrected. I just went to look at the bike and saw what you guys are talking about. Wow... I have "cruise," haha. Maybe I'll try it out on a ride but after I get far away from D.C.

Best way to set it tighten it up by turning it clockwise until it hold your throttle in place. Then release it by turning it back towards the rider and the throttle will disengage. Or you can always override it by turning the throttle itself.


DON'T DO THIS>>>
