about cruise-mate motorcycle throttle cruise control
Where did Cruise-Mate come from and what are we about?
Cruise-Mate motorcycle cruise assist was invented by a Navy Viet Nam Vet 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 Harley-Davidson 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 sore 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 over 40,000 Cruise-Mates on the street (and nothing but rave reviews by the way), thousands of dealers across the U.S. and Canada and Kuryakyn and Tucker Rocky / Bikers Choice now offer Cruise-Mate as part of their product line.
Cruise-Mate ValueWe've been told on multiple occasions Cruise-Mate could easily sell for much more, however, we believe greed in America is of epidemic proportion, so many companies charging whatever the market will bear for goods and services. We're happy with our profit margins and know we deliver a very high quality product at a fair price.
Compare our quality, performance, price and how the product looks on your bike to anything available on the market today for anywhere near our price and we're confident you'll choose Cruise-Mate as your throttle control, Big Dog Motorcycles did. They installed Cruise-Mate on their $40K Bull Dog Bagger as stock equipment.
