I went to Cycle Gear during lunch and picked up a Crampbuster CB2 for $7. I may hack part of it off as it's a little wide for me. I wanted to get the one they had with an offset, but it is made for larger grips and with the "rubber band" installed was o.k. but nowhere near as tight as the CB2 model was without the "rubber band".

Used it on the way back to work and it will take a little getting used to and figuring out the proper position for it, but I think it will help after that break-in period.

I got the CB1, it is just perfect. Enough grip left if you want to grab the handle bar. Else, just use palm on the thin strip. No complains so far.

I like the Go Cruise better than the throttle rocker type because it doesn't get in the way during around town riding.

I have the thin style crampbuster also. just about perfect as it is not in the way at all during sport riding, but just enough to rest my hand on when droning the slab.

KiPass failure.
He was taking it on and off multiple times.
When it isn't broken it works great.

Yes  the Go-cruise works pretty well, but I still prefer the Crampbuster for "non" locked throttle control.

Well, like I said earlier, I didn't have a great experience with my old rubber one.  But I just placed an order tonight for this one to see what I think.

Kinda hard to get higher ratings than THAT!

I just put it (Throttle Rocker II) on today and rode about 40 miles.  I love it!  It is so simple yet so effective!  The curve makes a big difference compared to my old rubber thing I never used.  I had to reposition it a few times, but I can already tell it is indispensable.  (Next up:  Vista Cruise, which also arrived).

+1, throttle locks are great for a long open stretch when you want to take your hand completely off the bar, but the rocker allows you to constantly change your throttle comfortably in all situations.  Its a must on long group rides where a traditional lock would be an annoyance as every bike would be speeding up / slowing down in relation to each other.
