Question: How does it work?
Answer: The stock thumbscrew has to be turned in multiple
times. The Cruise Buddy uses only ¼ turn because
of the aggressive ramp and pin angle.
Question: You say ¼ turn operation, what do
you mean?
Answer: Bend your thumb 45 degrees and you’ve
turned it on. See “Install photos”.
Question: What’s it made of?
Answer: It is made from aircraft aluminum, highly polished
and uses hardened and stainless steels for the mounting
and operational hardware.
Question: Will it fit housings other than Harleys?
Answer: You bet. It will fit Indians and most after
market housings that have the “Thumb screw” hole.
You might need a friction spring, which we can supply.
Question: How hard is it to install?
Answer: The Cruise Buddy utilizes the internal mechanics
of the stock housing and friction device. Installation
requires: partial disassembly of throttle housing,
removal of OEM thumbscrew, installing the Cruise
Buddy and adjusting. This process should take approximately
twenty minutes.
Question: Can I still turn the throttle with it engaged?
Answer: Absolutely, and with a quick flick of your
thumb you can disengage it.
Question: My bike is a real “shaker” is
there going to be a problem?
Answer: No problem, just install according to the instructions
and suggest using a thread locker.
Question: The threads seem to be different on my after
market housing.
Answer: Your housing probably has a metric thread.
No problem, Chase the threads with an 8/32 tap, locktite
the CB in and you should be in good shape.
