Or my father's answer....ride a 68 which doesn't have any return in the throttle...but both of these options are cheaper.

There are two versions out there. The "Throttle Rocker" is a brand name. That's the molded plastic piece that straps on with velcro. Very popular, and very usefull. But it sure gets in the way around town.

A few years back I got another version. It was smaller, had a smaller hand wrist, but had a hinge so you could move it back and forth. It was out of the way when you didn't need it, and you could move it to the most comfortable position. Unfortunatly, it was on my bike when it was stolen. I can't remember the name, or find another one. If I ever come across it, I think I'll buy 4.

Yup, he's got a 68 Electra Glide

Aren't these add-ons great? They work and are under $20!

I used all the slip-on types, including the one that swivels out of the way. They kept bothering me and didn't feel good. Went with the Kury throttle boss, and really like it. Feels natural to the grip.

I too have had the problem of fatigue in the right hand when riding long distance. I did alot of research on how to solve this, and after looking at alot of different ideas and ways to help I went with CruiseMate II.

I bought the one that is alredy installed. I have it on now and it works awesome. It locks quickly and unlocks with a quick flick of the finger. Just wanted to throw out another idea for you all.
