Cramp Buster Cruise Assist Standard Long Size Black

I'd bought this because I'd been having some problems with numbness in my throttle hand that would start about a half hour into any highway trip. I'm sure it was from the constant pressure of squeezing the grip and maintaining "twist pressure" on the throttle in a pretty fixed position for too long. I'd been thinking about making the purchase for a few months, but then I tripped outside doing some yard work and fell pretty hard, using both my hands on the ground to catch myself. Within a few days I started having severe symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Numbness/tingling in my hands during the day that would pass if I would flex my arms and hands a little, but then pain/numbness/tingling while I was sleeping at night from my elbows to my finger tips that was so bad it would wake me up. Riding the bike at all brought on the numbness so fast I started thinking it wouldn't be so safe to ride until I got this situation addressed, but I went ahead and ordered the CrampBuster to see if it would help.The appliance is super-easy to mount. Positioning the device is hit or miss until you get a feel for it, and it's probably not a good idea to adjust it while you're riding, as the adjustment requires you to roll off the throttle in order to advance the setting. Since I only use it on the highway, I've found that I can make adjustments as long as there is no traffic behind me that would be affected by my suddenly slowing down. I roll off the throttle, tweak the CrampBuster, and wick the throttle right back up. No, I don't pull in the clutch because I don't have one - I ride a big scooter with a CVT transmission. Anyway, postioning becomes second nature pretty quickly, and I seldom have to tweak anymore. If you dont' need it, it's very simple to rotate it out of the way so that you don't even know it's there.Now, does it work? Okay, I was hoping for total relief of my numbness and tingling in my throttle hand before I fell and injured my wrists, but I'd have been willing to settle for enough relief to at least ride a half hour or so without the symptoms. I wasn't getting that. It was like the CrampBuster was putting pressure on exactly the wrong spot. When the numbmess would hit a scant 10 minutes into a highway ride, I could at least sort of hang my thumb off the device until the numbness would subside, but I didn't really have my hand on the grip then, and my fingers were pretty far away from the front brake lever if I should have needed to use it in a hurry. About a week after I bought and installed it, I managed a 280 mile day, but it wasn't fun. As time went on, though, the symptoms subsided, and I started being able to use the CrampBuster as intended. Yesterday I went about 300 miles, more than five hours in the saddle, using the CrampBuster almost the entire time. It wasn't until I got home and was unpacking that it occurred to me that I didn't have a single instance of numbness on the entire trip. I think buying it right after I hurt my wrists made me have some unfair expectations. As my inflammation subsided, the true benefit of the CrampBuster started shining through. It's definitely a great value and does exactly what I need it to do. Just have a little patience as you get used to using it.

Well, Granny's new mobility scooter is actually a raised three wheeler...very sporty and fast. This fit the throttle just great and relieves wrist stress.

My hands get numb and cramped on long rides. These definitely help. Allows you to move your hand and finger and still operate the throttle.

I would find my grip tighten on the throttle when riding and would develop a right hand cramp but since using this simple, adjustable attachment, I find my hand is so much more relaxed and I can ride longer pain free. Very easy to install and adjust to meet your needs.

Helps distress grip and arm muscles when cruising and ideal for my Goldwing which is a cruiser type motorcycle. Way easier to ride 6-8 hours with a crampbuster. My grips are huge. I can put this near the end of my grip so as to slip my hand toward it and control the throttle with the part of my hand under the ring and pinky finger (and be able to relax all the fingers whike keeping them close to grip down if needed)...or slide my hand left to control the throttle without it.Others may like to control the throttle with the part of the hand under the thumb. It is adjustable.

This is without a doubt the best addition I've put on my motorcycle. On long trips I've experienced pain and a lot of fatigue in my throttle hand, wrist, and forearm from always needing to grip the throttle. When I first put it on I was afraid to use it around town in case it would prevent the throttle from closing when I went for the brake. With a little bit of experimenting I got it in a position where the heal of my hand just lays on it in a natural position. As I reach for the brake it lets the throttle close with no problem.In short order it felt completely natural to have it there and my hand is completely relaxed. I use it all of the time. If I ever find a time when I don't want it there it's very easy to just spin it around the grip so it's completely out of the way. Highly recommended.

I have a sport-tourer without cruise control.This device is pretty good for relaxing your grip while droning down the highway.However, it is nothing but "in the way" while riding the canyon roads that I love.It can be rotated to be out of the way, but you have to stop to do it safely.It's a tradeoff...

Do not buy this assuming that it is a "cruise control" for your motorcycle, as that is not its intention. The best descriptor I can think of is that this is a throttle assistant: this helps reduce the twisting force of your fingers to hold the throttle open, and transfers that force to a downwards motion of your wrist. It is an odd sensation transferring your throttle control to your wrist, but it significantly reduces hand fatigue on long rides.Be careful the first few times you ride with this assistant. Adjusting the position of the device requires you to stop to rotate away from the rider (only rotates in that direction because of device design and functionality), and if you rotate it too far, you have to rotate it completely around the throttle to get it to adjust down. Also take note of tight left hand corners (as the handlebar moves away from your right side, the natural movement will open the throttle), so practice using this device at low speed in a parking lot before heading up any winding roads).As far as sizes are concerned, the standard size fits sport and standard handlbars, but I would recommend the larger size for cruiser (and oversized) handlebars. I tried the standard size on my naked motorcycle and it fit perfectly, but was too tight on my cruiser (felt like it was going to break if used).
