Anyone have one? If so, do you ever use it and hows the install? Know of any sources other than Slee (they are out of stock with an unknown resupply date)?

Just something to bear in mind:
¡Never pull on the hand throttle handle to increase the engine speed!
The plastic handle will break or separate from the cable in no time. If you have to increase the engine speed, step on the throttle pedal as needed, and once you have reached the desired rpm, carefully and gently pull the hand throttle until you feel the resistance increases, and turn clockwise to lock. This is the right way to do it in order to avoid breaking it.

There is a supplier on IH8MUD importing them right now. I only had to wait two weeks to get mine and it was only $55! It installs super easy its just a pull cable with a locking knob. Its a very simple setup if your cruiser already has the pedal hardware, most of the late model cruisers have it, mine did. If you want to buy after market for only $15 check this out

Its not something I use everyday but I can remember the numerous times I sat in my cruiser reving the engine wishing I had something like this. Examples giving a jump start, running my OBA, running my winch, etc.

The OEM HT is a POS
The aftermarket unit it a much better build IMO and the handle will not fall off.

My factory installed one is a POS. Do not recommend.

Just post in the thread that you want to be added to the list, then pay attention to the thread as it will be awhile before your name comes-up. When your name comes-up, you pm him for paypal info. I am number 173 and he is on the 150s right now, I put my name in the hat more than a month ago.
