Hey Jungle
I have used P P for years and bought my bike with it as it gives you a way of tracking you money and product. The seller must be registered as well.

I've got the Cruise-Mate fitted and works like a dream - only about 1/8th of a turn to engage/disengage with a flick of the thumb due to a coarser thread. A spring loaded ratchet adjustment system to set (pull down and rotate a notch and let go type of thing) I had a look at the little platic thingy and thought that it might get knocked off at some stage without knowing if wearing gloves - given that it just slips/clips on the the star wheel.
Wasn't really fazed about drilling and tapping - done that sort of thing on my rides for about 40 odd years. They supply a drill/tap guide with the kit plus a drill & tap for an extra $10.They can also supply a threaded bush to return to the old star wheel system if so desired.
My review - works good for me, bare knuckles and gloves - its not in the way when not in use or even when in use - can be reached easily with your thumb (providing you have one on that hand) and with a small flick (less than 30deg) forwards/backwards turns on/off - for the addition expense, well its metal and it stay put and can't get lost in my pocket, its shiny and they state:
OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU; If you purchase Cruise-Mate from our website, then install it and don't like it, we'll buy it back and give you $20.00 for your trouble. IT'S THAT GOOD!
Can't ask much more than that!!
When you coming thru Broken Down Hill?
REALHOG.com (Aussie based) has them for $42.23 + post - chrome or black but you will need to buy a drill bit and tap (not supplied). I got mine from the US and for an extra $10 they supply the drill bit and tap - I had it in about 10 days. The kit comes with drill & tap jig - you supply some blue loctite and patience. Its not hard to do - The fitting instructions and here http://www.cruise-mate.com/Installation_Harley.htm
You can buy the drill and tap from most engineering parts store! (21/64ths drill & 3/8 24tpi tap - I think its an intermediate tap (3 types of taps - taper, intermediate and plug) - get the intermediate, its ok for soft metals!
Hope this helps

Yep - it appears they are a 'front - middle man' for the US company - Fuck em I say!!!
If your not in a real big hurry - order from Cruise-mate direct - if I remember, it only cost me $5 for postage and took 10 working days - Standard International mail - and you get the 'return and get $20 back' satisfaction deal!
I ordered mine on 10th August and got it on the 24th August - 10 working days - not bad for std international mail and only $5.00.
Give them a go!! Probably cost you about AUD$60.00 all up if you order the drill and tap also!
Regards
