This thing is super simple and reliable.. (not to mention cheap) I have been using one on my Uly since this spring & it has worked flawlessly! now I don't leave home without it :D[up] I give it a 10 of 10 for form, function and price..

Curious?..here is the video and website!..

Looks cool but 20$ for one tiny plastic piece isnt what i call cheap. But its not bank busting either. I wouldnt mind trying one if i ever get 20 to throw away.
 
IDK how comfortable that one is but I've been using this with no complaints crampbuster. $10.95 but my dad gave it to me from his sportster days. I keep it in my jacket pocket so I've always got it around. It fits well around the end of the factory grips.
 
Yeah i have a small crampbuster but with my bar end mirrors it is very tricky getting it on and off.
 
Price.. yeah really, I agree, 20 is a lot for a piece of plastic, but.. this is some really tough stuff.. looks like it was 5 axis cut, not molded.. to me it is steal and a bargain when it comes to the wrist relief it has provided.. take it on and off, put it in your pocket or tool pouch when not needed, try that with anything else our there.. had a vista cruise, kaoko, and throttlemiester on other bikes in the past.. all overpriced crap for what they do IMHO.

Throttle rocker.. now there's another worthwhile piece! look close a my throttle grip..

Thumpin.. what size did you buy.. the small or large and do you have factory grips.. thanks.. i have the cramp buster as well but this looks like something that will actually hold the throttle better.

What kind of issue are you having with it? I'm on stock grips and have the small diameter narrow one, I place it over the very end "lip" of the grip and its perfect. I also have the hand guards and bar end mirrors with no problems.
 
Badtitan.. the 7/8 works with our bikes.. I have the heated grips which are just a tiny bit thicker, and help with the grip of the 2wheelride piece.. which, by the way is a dedicated "hands-off the grip" cruise control.. The "cramp buster" or "throttle rocker" is basically a strain relief that helps overcome throttle spring tension, but in no way locks the grip to maintain rpms, just to be clear :)
 
So you slide this to hit your brake lever once at speed? If so how hard is it to turn into place? Got a close picture of it when locked?
 
stensg, sorry no close pics, but yeah, you have it right.. hold your throttle a whatever cruise speed you want and rotate the piece down to your brake lever to hold your cruise rpm. It is under mild tension.. just enough to overcome your throttle return spring, but not too much that you damage or wear out your grip. To slow down, just rotate your throttle forward and the piece rotates back.. it's that easy! (I wish I would have thought of it, lol)
