I have a cheap one that holds on with a velcro strap. It helped my wrist on 4- 5 hundred mile rides. I set it to rest my hand on it at 75 mph. I would need adjusting on occasion. I have the foam grips which held.

I have one that was on my Ultra when I bought it, but with cruise I didn't need it.
06ClassicRiderPM me your address and I'll send it to you.

Try the throttle mate, I think it works great. I rode to work tonight for the first time this year, I brokeand dislocated my rightelbow and shoulder at work this winterand with the throttle mate I had a nice ride,( 45 miles to work ). I set it and only takes a couple of adjustments as you are riding to keep it at a constant speed.JMHO

I have a Throttle Boss that I really like. It definitely relieves any grip fatigue. I'm sure any of the other designs would work as well. Highly recommend for those really long rides.
+1 Yep

i used a cramp buster etal. worked great but didn't like how it felt on the grips. seems like it took too much room from where my hands needed to go. finally went with Kury ISO grips and the throttle boss. It is outstanding. you don'e even know its there yet you use it without even thinking. makes the long rides a breeze, expecially if you don't have cruise.

I want to tip my hat to mnr60 for his generosity in sending me his Throttle Boss. I don't know him from Adam, but he extended the offer to send his Throttle Boss at no charge. He only asks that I pay it forward the next time someone else is in need for a small favor. That I will, Bruce. While I thanked him through his personal e-mail, I also wanted to share his kindness through this forum and encourage all to pay it forward.

I second the generosity of forum members.....I have asked and have given away items and wasn't asked for payment. This forum rocks!!!
