I have to disagree with the above assessment regarding using the hand throttle for a "cruise control". My Harley has a thumb screw on the throttle that will hold in position, I have used it as a cruise control for many years without problem, but of course only on the open road. Proper use of the hand throttle under the same circumstances would be useful, but of course you need to be on constant alert to traffic ahead. I just bought a new reproduction throttle cable for my GMC 100 and will be using it on long trips on the freeway. Happy 'bolting to all however you use or not use your hand throttle.
