Why does Cruise-Mate motorcycle cruise control work so well?

The original star wheel provided by Harley-Davidson is very small and tucked under the control assembly making it very difficult to access. The original equipment star wheel also utilizes a very fine pitch thread, which takes several turns of the star to engage or disengage the throttle lock feature.

Cruise-Mate consists of a solid stainless steel cartridge assembly with much coarser internal threads, which nearly doubles the vertical action of the friction device with the same amount of rotary motion. This allows our Cruise-Mate to engage and disengage nearly twice as fast as the original star wheel device.

Way more than just a handle.

Inside the Cruise-Mate handle is a spring loaded male and female spline which allows for infinite adjustability in seconds, you can even adjust on the fly if you'd like. Cruise-Mate will typically apply sufficient pressure to hold the throttle in place with 1/4 turn or less of the handle.
