Throttle Buddy?
Anyone have experience with products such as these throttle grip add ons? I need some assistance to relieve the cramping of the throttle hand when on long rides. The little thumb screw is not an option!

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.

The one I use is called "cramp buster" and it's awesome! Think it was about $12 or so at the stealership. Mass to Tenn last summer and made a huge difference! No discomfort at all. Best of all, you don't even realize you're using the damn thing until you notice your hand/wrist doesn't hurt! I think they're all pretty much the same. Get one, you'll like it!

I use them on my old Triumphs, but found the short harley grips too short and it was kind of in the way!
Get the ones without the velcro. I have both, and like the spring fit much better.
Crampbuster vs. Throttle Rocker. Can't remember which one is which. You can also get one for the left grip, which makes a comfort differnce as well for your left hand, allowing you to rest your palm on it.

I have a crampbuster but don't care too much for it. I keep having to rotate it around depending on what speed I'm running to keep my wrist in a comfy position. I tossed it in a drawer. For a good, long ride it would probably be nice to have so I'll keep it handy in case I need it.

I've tried all listed and the Throttle lock on my metrics as well. You can find a lever that fits on your screw for your throttle. It makes it really easy to lock it with your thumb when you ride. Check e-bay.

I can't remember what brand the one I have is, but it just slips over the grip and cups the heel of my hand. It's nice on long rides, but on a couple of occasions I've blipped the throttle when hitting the turn signal button, which can be a little startling when you're slowing to make a corner.

I have Throttle Rockers on both sides, they come in a 2 pk now. Yes, it does help on the left side also, just a place to rest the wrist on long rides.

I got the $10 throttle rocker and it never comes off.It's the best $10 bucks I ever spent.My hand never falls asleep or cramps up.Just takes a couple of adjustments to get it in the perfect position.
