Throttle Rocker

Who would have thought such a simple little item could lead to so much comfort. This was definitely the best $10.00 I invested in my bike. 

The rocker hooks onto the throttle and eliminates the need to squeeze the throttle to keep it open and eases the strain on the wrist. One concern was that my jacket sleeve would get caught but that hasn't happened to date. I leave the rocker on my bike all the time which includes city riding and some long distance. My one and only complaint is that sometimes the rocker slides on the grip and has to be readjusted. I think I am causing this by knocking up against it when the bike is parked. It has never moved while riding.

Throttle Rocker has now developed a second version that will fit on the both the right and left sides that uses a hook and loop strap.

From the Throttle Rocker website -

"Throttle Rocker is a device that easily wraps around the throttle grip of any motorcycle. It protrudes away from the grip so that the contoured portion fits comfortably against the heel and palm of the hand. Using the heel of your hand, the rider applies minimal downward pressure on the Throttle Rocker making the throttle rotate. Additionally, Throttle Rocker works as a resting place for the hand, reducing fatigue on long trips"

This is one product that definitely lives up to its advertising and I would highly recommend it as an addition to your bike.
