I had been looking for a way to relax my hand on longer (>10mi) highway rides. I tend to stick to the highways when I am travelling any distance. So, I found the "Crampbuster". It's a wrap-around metal or plastic (comes in different styles) tab that hangs off the throttle grip and allows the rider to rest their palm on the larger surface to use palm pressure to retain pressure on the throttle, relaxing the grip. Unfortunately. I found that the length of the item stuck out way too far for the grip setup on my bike, and just didn't work well with my stock rototiller bar angle. So, I kept looking. I then ran across this! It's a Universal Throttle Boss. It's a soft rubber strap that wraps around and hooks to itself. After 2 weeks of using this thing, I LOVE it! It's small enough to stay out of the way on my regular short rides, but stays put and is very convenient to be able to rest my finger muscles when rolling down the highway. I know it's no cruise control, but it was only $10, and that's all I could afford. I have to say I am very satisfied with this purchase, and recommend it to anyone looking for a similar product.
