Never heard of one, not that it can't be done. With the Triglide being TBW you might be able to find one from a car that would you could modify to fit.

</div>You might want to think about that before jumping in. Your right foot is for the rear brake and your right hand is for your primary brake. I would not recommend a foot operated throttle unless you have a physical limitation requiring it.

</div>i do have a physical limition my right hand doesn't work.never used the front brake .only use the right foot brake on my tri
I have heard,that some of the big rigs (tractor trucks) use throttle by wire foot accelerators,maybe some cars are using them, you might check a napa store, or maybe someone else knows for sure, if you can find the mechcanism, you could make the peddle.
Saw one on a Honda. Wouldn't be to hard to fabricate one on a Harley with a cable operated throttle but your T - Glide throttle is electronic. No cable. Since its electronic you would probably have to use some sort of modified stock throttle, otherwise all of the other little goodies wouldn't work. Isn't progress wonderfull? Have you considered moving it to the left side? My brother in law rode a Honda auto with the throttle moved over to the left side. He lost his right hand in an industrial accident. He did well with it.<br />

Like Dwight said how about the left side? It would not be that hard to do.
Stallion #406 // 2013 Tri-Glide
i will ask the guys at the harley shop
Thinking outside the box, to give you and idea to ponder. If you could have a bracket made to start, having it mounted forward of your floorboard and you aquired a stock handle bar that was setup for the TBW, the throttle sensor and wiring needed to extend it.
You could cut off the throttle side of the donor handlebar. Make a special clamp to clamp around the throttle grip to make it similar to a gas pedal
Then mount the setup and extend the wiring down to your pedal setup so you could press down to accerlate. I think it can be done.
Theres going to be alot of trial and error to get it to work. If your bike has the lower fairings, you will most likely have modify (cut) a section out of the lower fairing or remove it on the right side.
Good luck in your quest :wtg:

Prosthetic Hand
Although you don't have a Prosthetic Hand, it isn't what it sounds like. It is actually a lever to operate your trike.
They have a consultant that you can call.
