I agree that the throttle boss looks great with the kuryakyn grips, but it doesn't seem to have much surface space to rest your hand, particularly when compared to the other throttle rocker, crampbuster etc. units. Is it comfortable on the palm of the hand? Thanks.

i had the cramp busters, and found just the opposite. they took room off the grip, and just didn't feel natural. They kept getting in the way. The ISO Throttle Grip takes up less space IMHO and after awhile, you don't even know it is there.

I think I have also read on the forum, that some put the throttle boss on the left grip also,because they are so comfortable?

I've got cruise and use the throttle boss as a palm rest with the cruise on and use it as a torque assist when not using the cruise. It's so comfortable, I added a throttle boss to the left side too.

One of the best things you can buy for your ISO grips - Even if you have a cruise control - Had one on all my putts for YEARS!!
