Thank god for the "coat hanger" cruise control
« on: May 22, 2012, 07:36:17 AM »
After a 500 mile trip this weekend I realized my next big thing to work on with the C14.   My writs was cramping like a champ had to rotate thumb top side, thumb bottom, holding throttle with left hand,  And when it got really bad i used my ghetto throttle lock.

But I think I need to find another way because i don't want the coat hanger to cut the grip.  Time to start looking into wrist cramp defeating plans.

Cramp Buster?



Crampbuster - Use and Abuse

I personally like the Throttle Rocker.  I find the contour fits my hand mo better.

I have gotten to really liking the throttle rocker for my daily riding. Rostra handles the highway  very nicely too.

I'm trying to avoid the straight up cruise controls.  But I may go so far as to try another locker system... probably the BMW o ring method.   But the cramp buster might help too.   thanks  8)

plastic vista cruise ~$20 or less.

On the GPZ I have cramp buster and a Vista Cruise.

I use CCS100 cruise control, and the Vista Cruise on C10.  May add a cramp buster too.

They all fill their little job in slightly different ways and are handy to have.

Very true statement.  I have the CCS100 on my C-10 also.  I also use the Throttle Rocker.  The rocker is agoodsend when in traffic or lots of stop-n-go traffic.  I have tried ridding without it cause I put it on my wifes ninja; wont do that again.

I use a black O-Ring, costs about $0.06. When it wears out I splurge for a new one.
