Yeah, I had one of those things. Went out on a ride and about half way home, mine went sailing. Kept screwing it up and you had to spin it all the way around to reset it. When it worked, it was great. Switched over to a set of Kuryakyn Iso Grips and the throttle boss - I like this a whole lot better than the crampbuster.

 

I allso have Kuryakyn Iso Grips and the throttle boss. When I first put the throttle boss on it took a little getting used to.

 

When not on a long stretch, and around town, I turn mine down and out of the way. I've had one fly off too.

 

Mine kept screwing up and I often had to spin it around to get it back to it's correct position. When I felt that it might get me into trouble I took it off. I never used one on my current bike because I don't trust them anymore. I put on a brakeaway unit.

 

So far...not an issue, works "as advertised" and I am comfortable with it. Also makes a nice 'hook' to keep my helmet from slinding off the handlebars when I park.

Planning on getting one for the Bonneville when I get the chance.

+1 .. but changing to Kury ISO Grips with Throttle Boss this week.

 

Throttle boss, man. But you know what, I rarely use it because I'm rarely on the interstate. Nice to know it's there on the end of the grip, however, if I ever need it.

 

I'm very happy with mine. I have 5000 miles using it. I also have mine set horizontal when cruising. I can see your issues with it though. Thinking about i went out and sat on the bike and my wrist does roll forward more with it on than off but I'm very use to it now and not an issue compared to how it's helped decrease pain and well cramping in my wrist. Those iso grips are nice but for 11.00 I paid for my CB I'm very happy. One other thing I like is I can stretch my fingers out and still have control of the throttle.

 

Never in the way, always on the bike. As far as slippage, I put a little strip of sandpaper under it (between it and the rubber band they provide you) so that it stays in place. Just find an angle that's comfortable. For me, at idle it is not in the way. So I guess it is tipped down some so that it is in use at light cruise.

 

I’ve got over 20,000 miles on mine and I love it. Yeah it only goes one way and if you go too far you have to spin it all the way around but I hardly ever have to do that any more because I found the spot where I like it. Or maybe I just got used to it. Sometimes when I’m just cruising along I ride with just my thumb or one finger resting on it for a bit just to change things up and keep my 60 year old hands from going numb. I couldn't live without it or something like it.

I also have one of these

Granted there are better things out there but they also cost much more.

 

Best 10 buck investment I ever made.

As in everything -- you're mileage will vary.

 

Blah. Hated mine. Love my

Well that was a fail. Love my kuryakyn throttle lock. Use it on long and short runs. Cost me $30. Best money spent. Can now let my right arm hang at my side for awhile. I wanted the breakaway style, but it doesn't come in black and I'm trying to remove chrome from my phantom not add it.

I love mine. I've installed it as close to the edge as possible and don't have a problem with it. It has stayed exactly where I set it. It came with a rubber ring that goes around the throttle to keep it from slipping and it attaches with Velcro.
The brand is actually "http://throttlerocker.com/model-choices.htmlThrottle Rocker".
Unfortunately, it looks like they are no longer available.

I have it set for cruising on on the highway and I simply move my hand inside it for around town. The curved shape of this one is very comfortable.

Mongrel, Didn't care much for the gold color but it's growing on me big time!!

 

didnt care for it, used it for a few weeks.
never turned on me. just felt it was in the way on hard right hand turns.

 

well mine hangs from the handlebar 90% of the time - I put in on the throttle grip only if/when I am going to be on the highway - I installed mine all the way to the inside of the grip instead of to the outside - I have the wide one as well - when not riding highway i just take it off the grip and hang it on the HB between the riser and the controls on the right side.

 

Crampbuster on both of our bikes. Just completed a 2600 mile road trip and didn't have a single negative issue with them. The $20.00 expense was worth it.

 

To keep mine from moving, I cut up a little bicycle inner tube and slipped a piece over the throttle grip then put the cramp buster over it. I prefer to position it where I can just use my thumb when I need to relax my hand..kind of like a throttle on a 4 wheeler. Its not in the way at all.

I may have to try that.

 

Had one but it done a sail away also. Good product and wasn't in the way but I had the standard width not a wide version. Replaced the bike before I replaced it. Kuryakyns and Throttle Boss for 3 years now. Thinking on a Vista Cruise install.

 

Mine took a little getting used to at first. I'd have it set for highway riding and would sometimes rev unintentionally while maneuvering at low speeds. (Thank goodness for friction point and clutch control.) Now, I'm pretty used to it.

I do find that sometimes on weekend jaunts when my cruising speed is about 15-20mph slower than the commute speed I will spin it around an start tweaking up until it is just right for the slower speed. Then Monday morning I'll start bumping it up bit by bit until it is back to the commute/public raceway setting.

It makes it easier to just open my hands and just palm the grips while keeping the throttle consistent. On lazy rides without a lot of traffic I've been known to just keep a few fingers on it to keep things going while sort of lounging back against the backrest.

It does remind me if I don't close the cuff on my mesh jacket by poking itself up the sleeve edge until I close the cuff a little.

Takes some getting used to, and you need to tweak it, even spin it back around to readjust once to match how you are riding that day, but mine stays on the bike. I would like a breakaway cruise control eventually, but I find the CB to be a handy little, inexpensive gadget that does what it claims. How you use it or adapt with it is up to you.

 

no prob with mine i have it tipped down pretty much so it out of the way and i use it lightley with my hand more toward the wrist just to give my fingers and grip a little rest , imgoing to spring for the brakeaway products cruise /throttle control tho.

 

Didn't care for mine on my Shadow. Larger grips did the trick with no cramping at all now.

 

On twisty roads it absolutely gets in the way. Downright dangerous it was so I tossed it. I do use one on the left grip tho. On the right grip is a Madco throttle lock. Works great!

 

I agree with some of these posts where:
it dangerously gets in the way in slow speed turning
has caused accidental rev- but friction zone saved me too
if I put it at a lower angle it negates its purpose

I'm going to put it back on & play with different positions.
I wish it was more out of the way so you can only grip the grip when you need to (turning)

 

It's starting to in traffic and a lot of low speed driving, so I'm thinking it's going to get tossed into my bag and only brought out during road trips.

 

I have found over the years that getting my handlebars adjusted correctly for Me results in no hand or wrist cramps and no stiffness in the back of my neck/across my shoulders.

I did use a CB for a while about 8 years ago and tossed it for the same reasons others have listed.

I have bought used bikes with throttle locks on them...I remove them immediately. No way am I locking my throttle in place...those things strike me as a bad idea.
