hmm...I've been quite dead-set on the Biltwell Whiskey Throttle sleeve versus my stock HD one for when I put new bars on my bike soon

advertising had convinced me it was necessary, but maybe I've been romanced by Biltwell?

The stock HD one will work with Biltwell bars if you aren't planning on changing the grips. However if you want new grips then you'll need a new throttle tube, I have the whiskey throttle and it's good quality and I like dealing with Biltwell.

no, I just meant that the stock HD one sticks a little....didn't know if the Whiskey Throttle tube is smoother....and do I give a damn for 50 bucks?

Well I never had any problems with my stock on sticking but I definitely don't have any problems with the Biltwell. I wasn't planning on changing my throttle because I didn't see anything wrong with the stock one but since I wanted new grips I had to. I couldn't say for sure if the Biltwell would fix your problem, the Biltwell doesn't work any differently than stock. If there is some other underlying cause of your sticking then a new throttle tube won't fix it.
