    I kind of like the throttle rocker; you can rotate it opposite the direction of acceleration, and set it to keep you a whatever speed you want, like setting a speed on a cruise control.

      I've got the Kuryakyn Iso grips on my Busa, have a set ready for the GS also. Cant stand the skinny grips.

        Don on this forum has this simple, inexpensive plastic clip-on throttle paddle on his 1100G. Easy on, easy off.



        I tried it out a couple of weeks ago & will be picking one up...

          I've used a throttle rocker on both grips on a previous bike. I found the one on the left to be kinda in the way and unnecessary. I like the one on the throttle though...especially in cold weather when you're wearing thick gloves and it's difficult to grip the throttle.

            Hmm. I think I'd stick the the plastic cramp buster. I like the idea of having that integrated into the grip, but if can be a little fussy getting it to just the right position. I wouldn't want to try that on the whole grip unless there was an easy way to adjust it.

            A set for the mountain bike would be nice though. I'd just have to trim them to work with my grip shifters.

              Crampbuster is nice. It's fairly easy to adjust when you get used to it. I point mine down to the ground (out of the way) when not needed.
