Abstract: Described is a method of installing a cruise control on a motorcycle. A throttle member of the motorcycle is initially maintained with an installation fixture. The installation fixture may be a cube having six different sized bores to accommodate different sized throttle members. The cruise control is situated to encircle the throttle member and affixed with attachment means (e.g., screws). The throttle member is then attached or reattached to the handlebar thereby allowing the cruise control to control the motorcycle's speed.

Abstract: Described is a latch assembly that can be mounted within a door structure or in an adjacent frame structure of a vehicle to secure a suicide-type car door to an adjacent door panel. The latch assembly includes first and second blocks mounted adjacent and spaced from one another. A rod is actuatable between the two blocks by a user. Locking mechanisms allow the rod to be secured in a desired position.

Abstract: A motorcycle cruise 60 control includes a throttle 12 attached to a handlebar 15 of a motorcycle 14 that controls the motorcycle's speed and an indexer 100 attached to the throttle. The throttle 12 is turned manually using normal torque to increase the speed of the motorcycle, and the indexer 100 has a cruise position and a neutral position. In the cruise position, the indexer 100 holds the throttle 12 in a selected position yet enables the throttle to be turned manually in a stepwise manner. A manual actuator 82 attached to the indexer 100 is used to switch manually the indexer between the cruise position and the neutral position. The throttle 12 with the indexer 100 in the neutral position is turned using essentially the normal torque, and with the indexer in the cruise position is turned using substantially greater than the normal torque.
