I assume that is the "cam lock". None of the pictures on the web-site really look like yours.
It looks like a quality piece - I might be interested. I want to be sure you have used it and find it to work well first. Also, does it interfere with hitting the starter button? It looks like it could be in the direct line where you use your thumb with your hand on the grip for pushing the starter button.

Thanks for posting.

It does work well, at least based upon a whopping 50 miles worth! You do have to make a bigger 'C' out of your thumb to get to the starter button but it's not really an issue.

Got around to installing my Motorcycle Accessories Division (MAD) manual cruise control today. I had previously purchased a Vista Cruise but did not like the idea of drilling / screwing into the throttle housing. The MAD unit requires no mods.
Parts List:

Two pins bracket the throttle housing to keep the CC from rotating. Also in this pix note the ~.5" white nylon spacer on the end to allow the grip full coverage. The right grip is now .5" longer than the left. This is front pin.

Rear pin:

Completed install:

As an aside, Bill, the owner of MAD, is quite the character. When I called, a voice simply replied 'hello'.. not MAD motorcycle products or the like, just 'hello'. Bill sounds like an older guy who is working out of his garage/shop. He doesn't take credit cards, so he just sent me the CC with my promise to get a check in the mail. How often does that happen anymore?

The CC is exceptionally well made, the instructions detailed. All in all, a great product.
