I managed to use bits and pieces from the pack and made it fit. If you are not a handy type of person, don't buy it. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Can't handle even the smallest of hills and even loses speed in a little of wind. Save your money and wait to buy the more expensive one. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(1 stars) reviewed on 05/08/10 by Don Ziniti (dziniti) from Lakeville, MA, United States, for a 2005 1600 Vulcan Classic wrote: I have Kuryakyn custom grips on my 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic. You can NOT install this cruise control if you have aftermarket grips like I do. The switch box straddles the throttle tube and you can't move the grips away from the switch box in order to install the unit. Worse still, I've written to Cruiser Customizing's "Live Chat" a number of times to see if ther was a "fix" for this and they have NEVER replied. VERY disappointing.

Does not hold the throttle securely. If you tighten it up so it does hold the throttle tight then it interferes with the throttle. Spend the extra money and get the breakaway throttle lock.

(1 stars) reviewed on 06/04/08 by Pete Birdsong (PBirdsong) from Parker, CO, United States, for a Red-2004 1300 VTX1300C wrote: It will NOT fit on a '04 VTX 1300c. If you own a VTX check the wiring that leads into the switch assembly. The bracket must be able to fit FLUSH against the left side of the switch assembly, but my wiring enters the switch assembly far too close to the handlebar for me to mount the Cruise Control bracket. You need a good 1/4 inch space between the wiring and your handlebar. Directions for installation are a bit obscure . . . I have seen it installed on a '08 M50 and a '07 Vstar 1100c.

(1 stars) reviewed on 04/18/07 by David Neidhardt (DLNeidhardt) from Stockton, CA, United States, for a 2005 600 Shadow VLX wrote: Thirty-five bucks for about five dollars worth of parts. Installation not too difficult but I had trouble with clearance issues and the rubber "filler" had to be trimmed to fit. Tightening the setscrews caused warpage of the ring. The end result looks bad. As for actual use, it hinders the return of the throttle even when off. When on, does not hold too well unless one tightens the nut until the spring is almost completely compressed. This should have cost $19.99. Review Details  9 out of 9 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(1 stars) reviewed on 09/18/06 by freespirit (vcaks) from Calgary, AB, Canada, for a 2005 black and grey C90 Boulevard wrote: Could not use it. Read the instruction on the back of the package and it indicated that the bar to hold it in pplace should cross over the switch housing, between the kill and start switches. On my C90 I have a hazzard light switch located just there. After further looking, decied not to even open the package to try alternate places since the thumb lever to activate and deactivate would be in an akward position Review Details  5 out of 5 members found this review helpful.

(1 stars) reviewed on 07/07/05 by Bob (VTXwannbe) from Champlin, MN, United States, for a 2003 1800 VTX1800R (Retro) wrote: Not one I'd purchase again, nor do I recommend it. The concept is good, but this manufacturer has little quality control. The throttle surround does NOT fit a Honda VTX (however the package says it does. In addition, the kit and instructions are pretty bad, but the funniest and most frustrating part is that the allen wrenches that come with the kit do NOT fit the allen screws that come with the kit. It's been awhile since I've run into a product that's this weak. Review Details  9 out of 9 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

You will get it adjusted so your throttle will stay locked and your throttle will not snap back properly OR Your throttle will move freely and it will not lock your throttle at all.

As long as it works, it's fine. We'll see. Guess what ! I tried to put this thing on and as it turns out, the electric cables from the starter and kill switch are in the way. Any body have any suggestions. What a waste of money, BLAAAAAHHHHH!!! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

I have Iso grips and it looks like crap and needs a mod to install. My feeling is that if you have aftermarket grips, run from this product!
