I use the Kury ISO's with throttle boss and I hate em. Wish I would have just left the stock grips on but I've already went thru the trouble of putting em on and I'm too lazy to take em back off. Feels like I'm gripping a 4x4.

I like the Kury throttle boss as well. I also have a cruise-mate that locks the throttle so you don't even have to lay your hand on it. That thing is a long trip's best friend but more money.

Used a throttle rocker for a few years and it worked well enough. But I now have metal grips which it don't grip onto. I was using a type of plastic band around the grip so the rocker would work but 'course didn't like that.

I'm planning to get a cruise-mate soon.

Useing the stock friction screw was OK, but kind of a hassle. Mine broke so I decided to replace with the cruise-mate.

I have the cramp buster and like it alot. I also have something like the kelver or whatever that thing is called. I only use it when hand is cold or needs a break. Like them both. The little crows foot looking thing just makes it easier to move the thumb screw.
Kroozeabout.

I have the same set up and it has made a big difference on long rides!

I have 3 different throttle assists on 2 bikes. Cramp Buster on my FXDC which I prefer. Have the Barefoot ******* for the FXDC but in my mind it's in the way, so I took it off.

I have the Throttle Boss with my ISO grips on my Gold Wing but find the TB not wide enough for comfort. The newer ones from Kury are wider and maybe better if I can get them sized for the Wing's over sized heated grips.
