#75877 bluezdawg (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 273 Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Curious if anyone has used one of them throttle "palm levers" (not sure what you really call them) as opposed to a cruise control. Have seen them at some bike shows. Any recommendations? Seem like they'd be good to use to give the ole' hands a stretch!   Logged     Vietnam Vet, Legion Rider, Patriot Guard Rider   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75879 RIPBiker13 (User) You couldn't handle the ride of the Reaper... Gold Boarder Posts: 680 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   I believe it's called a throttle boss. I had one but I didn't like it for everyday riding. I found it to be more a pain than anything. But I've heard others swear by them.   Logged     His name is Mr. Grim and I am the Grim Rider.

On long rides they are pretty nice. Let you relax your hand. you have to play with the position to get it just right. I dont like it in town. Gets in the way. but on the open road its fine.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75882 gunsngears (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 132 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   I got one and like it. Yes you can open your hand and cruise along with it on the palm and let the blood flow to the fingers.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #75886 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14672 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   I have two of them they are the LARGE throttle bosses and I love mine in town and on the highway. You open your fingers and lay them on the levers and let your palm rest on the bosses and you still have good control of the bike without taking your hands off the bars. My hands used to go numb after a few miles I don't have any problem any more. I bought a cruse control and didn't like it with these I have complete control all the time.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75888 javawave (User) Over 18314 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5713 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Yes, the throttle boss is nice. The one I have is a big plastic palm throttle. It snaps on and off the bike. The way it mounts makes it cumbersome in town.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75895 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   My Kury, like Curt's is great. I only use one on the right side though. It doesn't get in the way ever and couldn't imagine owning a bike without one.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 10238 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   I carry the throttle rocker in my saddle bag for use on trips also. Then got a vista-cruise and really like it.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75899 bluezdawg (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 273 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   Thanks guys.... appreciate the feedback. Think there is one in my future. Like curt mentioned, the right hand gets numb after riding a while. Think I'd use it primarily on longs trips. Will take a look at some of those you've recommended.   Logged     Vietnam Vet, Legion Rider, Patriot Guard Rider   The administrator has disabled public write access. #75909 javawave (User) Over 18314 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5713 Re:Throttle "palm" Lever 5 Years, 1 Month ago   the palm throttle I have I paid $6.00 for.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access.
