AHHHH, I'm sorry, did I hurt your tender little feelings? Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me. But hey, I'm not perfect, maybe I did come on a little too tough, if so to the OP I'm sorry, but as I repeat myself..at least I offered suggestions and didn't resort to name calling like I was in the 1st grade, you on the other hand...Oh why do I bother, Ill call it a night and say I'm sorry if you will, if not carry on I can do this forever

With 60k+ miles 0f use with first the cramp buster and now the K-ISO throttle boss, I must say I wouldn't be without one. Unfortunately my job location requires me to do a long highway commute, so if I want to ride to work for me using one is a necessity. One suggestion to the OP would be to go to a deserted parking lot someplace and practice panic stops. It'll help you prepare for when you need it most. Actually thats not a bad idea for anyone else using Harley brakes either!

I have one and I agree with Cowpokey.

I've used a throttle rocker for years and even have one on the 'Glide with cruise control. It greatly decreases the issues I have with tendonitis. It is important to make sure you have it properly located - your hand should not be hitting it at closed throttle.

Easy Boys!!! When I got done milking cows this morning I checked and the sun did come up again this morning. Just wanted to post an alert to us riders to be careful with things that stick out from the throttle. Or that stick out from anywhere for that matter LOL. Take care Mike.

One of my buddies accidently blipped his when he was in some twisties a year ago. He was ok, but the bike suffered a couple thousand in damage. :~/

I installed a throttle rocker a few weeks ago and on the highway, it's great, but around town, it just a matter of rolling it out of the way..

I was considering the ISO grips with the throttle boss but I see no reason to put myself and my wife/passenger at any risk to make my hand a little compfortable. It'll get plenty of rest when I'm dead.
I'm glad you are ok Mike.
