Had one... Hated it... Installed Throttlemeisters on both my bikes. LOVE IT! :biglaugh:

Using the cramp buster through towns or stop and go is suicide IMO.

What's the difference between cramp buster and throttlemeister?

The cramp buster is a paddle like device on the twist grip which the heel of your hand rests on taking strain off the wrist. Definite downside to the cramp buster is during front braking. It's easy for your brake hand to rotate backwards and accelerate the bike at the same time you're trying to stop it.

The throttlemeister is advertised as being a 'mechanical cruise control' and connects directly to the grip end, replacing the stock bar end. I'm guessing it is a type of throttle set. I have never used one of these but am seriously considering it.

I am not sure I would be so dramatic to call it suicide...but it can be a challenge. It is adjustable so I move it down a little when I am around town driving.

The throttlemeisters is definitely a better piece, but it comes with a price.

For the last 25 years or so (since they have been on the market), I have been using a throttle lock (NEP and Vista Cruise make them). I prefer the Vista Cruise. Does require some mods to the plastic throttle sleeve though since the Max has ridges where the throttle lock clamps the sleeve. These must be carefully removed so the lock has a smooth surface to grip. There is another version that spans the brake housing and grips around the outside of the rubber grip. I have never liked the looks or function of that one though. The Throttlemeister is more of a hassle to use and is outrageously expensive....

No really a hassle once you have used it and it looks soooo much better than anything out there that it's worth it to me. Can't tell it has cruise! :eusa_dance:
