Where did Cruise-Mate come from and what are we about?

Cruise-Mate motorcycle cruise control was invented in a garage in Bellingham, MA out of necessity. After many years of riding and an injury to my right hand I found it harder and harder to hold the throttle open for extended periods of time without my right hand going numb. Electronic cruise-control wasn't an option on my carbureted 2001 Electra Glide Classic so I searched all the normal vendors for a throttle control that was easy to operate, easy to adjust, looked good on the bike and was affordable.

Although there were several solutions available, none of them met all my demands. They were either plastic and looked like crap on the bike, or they were very difficult to adjust for proper operation, or they were far from affordable.

This being said and me being a life long gear  head, I went into my garage to find the perfect solution for my tired hand. After many failed attempts at coming up with the perfect throttle control Cruise-Mate was born.

After putting it on my own Electra Glide and realizing it was the perfect solution for my fatigued hand it wasn't long before everyone I knew with a motorcycle wanted one and their friends wanted one and so on. Because we can no longer keep up with demand  we now sub contract with a U.S. manufacturer to produce Cruise-Mate's for us.

Today we have almost 7000 Cruise-Mates on the street (and nothing but rave reviews by the way), 200 dealers across the U.S. and Canada and Kuryakyn is adding Cruise-Mate to their 2011 product catalog.
