the nut will open throttle plates. When plates
are open, hold them in the open position to
prevent them from snapping back when the
nut is loosened. See Picture 4.
4. After removing nut and lock washer, ease
throttle plates back to the closed position.
5. Place cruise control arm on the end of the shaft,
against the throttle cable spool, with the arm
facing down, and the mounting stud facing to
the front of the motorcycle. See Picture 5.
6. Install new lock washer and nut from kit onto
end of throttle shaft and tighten to snug only at
this time.

operation and check for at least 1 /
8
" clearance at
all points around cruise control arm.
The cooling fins on early S&S ® Big Fin design heads
interfere with the cruise control arm. Grind fins for a
minimum
1 /

” clearance throughout the full range of
cruise control arm travel.

When tightening retaining nut, keep throttle plates in
the closed position to ensure that the throttle plates do
not become mis-aligned during the tightening
procedure.
Over tightening throttle shaft nut can cause irreversible
damage to throttle shaft and plates.
9. Re-check throttle for smooth operation
through the entire range of travel, and that the
throttle plates seat evenly in their bores when
the throttle is in the closed position.
10. Route the cruise control cable to obtain the
smoothest line from the cruse control actuator
to the manifold bracket. It may be necessary in
some installations to remove previously installed
cable ties and re- route the cable from its stock
position.
Do not kink or place sharp bends in cruise control cable.
11. Insert the end of the cruise control cable through
the manifold bracket. The cable ferrule must
protrude through the end of the bracket so that
the included clip can be installed to retain the
cable ferrule.
