Default Throttle Boss

Does anyone use this or a similar product?

I have an 07 WG and the right arm starts tightening up after not that many miles on the highway.
I know part of it is the wind and I tend to hang on tighter plus the fact that I am going at a steady speed - no throttle change.

I am curious about how well they work and how you position it on the grip.
I cannot really judge how much the grip actually moves so do you set it high at idle and then push it down?
Sometimes I am not that smooth on the throttle and my hand takes up the whole grip as it is so I don't want anything to interfere with normal riding.

I know Kuryakyan has a magnetic throttle lock but I don't know how it responds to manual input.

I have the CrampBuster, "Wide", and it is the BEST $10.00 I have spent on my Dyna. Fits different grips and is easy to adjust, no velco crap. The Throttle Rocker has the velco adjuster. Just rotate it to the position you find yourself cruising at most of the time. If you do a lot of stop and go, just rotate it to a lower position, and it is out the way.

I agree with dlstanf2, best 10 bucks spent on my Dyna. I leave mine in one place for city and
highway riding.

I have the cramp buster also and love it. Also got the thumb lever that attaches to the throttle tension **** on the under side of your throttle cluster. This is sort of a poor man's cruise control but is really good on long rides when you need to shake out that right hand but don't want to stop. I think it was $15 bucks.
