Default Favorite throttle assist

Does anyone have a favorite among the current crop of inexpensive throttle assists: Cramp Buster, Throttle Boss, Throttle Rocker or one I've missed?

Thanks and here you go:

I picked up a throttle rocker at a swap meet for a buck about two years ago. It sure made a 2600 mile trip on the sporty a lot more comfortable.

I have used the Throttle Rocker and like it pretty well. Used it more on my metric bike and not so much on the Harleys. But it worked well on all of them.

I have a set of Kury ISO's with the throttle boss. First off, the grip size on the Kury's are perfect, not so small as to cause my hand to cramp. Second, the throttle boss rests nicely under the outside of my palm so I can keep a constant throttle with little effort. Some I have seen reverse the throttle boss so it sits on the opposite side of the throttle, might give that a try but I like the Kuryakyn.

I had a Throttle Mate on my Super Glide. Worked great.

I have a Throttle Rocker and like it a lot. Quick on and off, easy to adjust, and makes for a nice, relaxed grip on rides. I've been using it for years.

I have a cramp buster and it works great. My Eglideclassic doesn't have cruise and this really helps out. Sometimes I will use my thumb to lock the throttle on long stretchs of empty road. I tighten it up just enough so that I can still easily twist the throttle back. But the cramp buster is kept in my right lower fairing at an arms reach for when I want it.

I bought the $10 Barefoot Willie's lock that clips onto the throttle lock **** under the switch cube. Works great. You just get your throttle where you want it, and flip it locked with your thumb, then use your index finger to release it.
