Cruise quit working on the trike.

If you didn't throw out the failing rings, you can mic them for thickness; won't be real accurate, but at least you'll have a minimum size.
I have a set that's a hair too big for the holes but fit perfect on the tubes. Might be able to find some slightly thinner. I don't have the originals now, were too messed up and were split. I'll check around the workbench just in case but think I tossed them. Would have been a good source for measuring thickness. I'm wondering if the new vendor for this type of cruise would have repair parts available.

I've never had cruise on a bike.
I just use a nice aluminum billet throttle locker, in combination with the little palm pad that Kuryakyn makes to go on the end of their Iso Grips. I set the lock loose enough to hold the throttle, but still be able to move the throttle agaisnt resistance for small speed adjustments (in traffic).
I cannot remember the name of my throttle lock and couldn't find it searching. The clamp is actuated by throwing a thumb lever from 9 to 12 o'clock. Many are made, some are pretty cheapo and some more elaborate.
I envy your finding a compatible and happy mate John. After wife 2 left, I gave up entirely on that particular subject (for the duration).
Jess, if your throttle lock looks like this….its a Breakaway. I love mine
Jess from VA:
It isn't the Breakaway, which is one of the best IMHO.
I don't use mine much anymore, as I really try to stay off freeways, except for short blasts. And my freeways are always so busy using one can be problematic.
I used it plenty on my recent trip to NC/TN.

Took my honey for a ride yesterday, the cruise worked fine during the 3 hrs. we were out. Stopped for a bite to eat at a favorite little restaurant on the Fox River in a quiet little town not far away from our place. Afterward headed out on some country roads that had little to no traffic except for farm equipment we ran into. I can't help but marvel at that equipment now compared to when I was a kid. Back then a Farmall M was considered a big tractor, it wouldn't hold a candle to today's machine.
Jess from VA:
My brother has a fully working Farmall M tractor (and power takeoff and a bunch of attachments), and that is a big tractor. He's got smaller Massey Ferguson and Ford tractors too. And a road grater and a dump truck. And his daily driver is a 1965 Dodge Camper Special.
He likes equipment and can fix anything, and won't pass up a good deal.
His Farmall is the lawnmower for his 40 acres.
