Default Throttle Boss

I asked on another thread -- but got no response. What is a throttle boss?

Thanks in advance.

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!!

DO you guys that have cruise use the throttle boss or is it more of a comfort thing? I'm getting the ISO's and was just wondering. I hear they add comfort to the grips.

AMEN !!
If your hand starts getting cramped, just release your grip and rest your palm on the lever too keep speed, works awesome!!

If you don't like ISO grips, heres a universal throttle boss (although they don't quite work as well as the bolt on ISO unit)

i have cruise, but use the throttle boss a lot. i don't use the cruise around town or on the short jaunts. with the throttle boss, you get used to using it so much that you unintentionally use with without thinking. a real palm saver. comfortable and have it on all my scoots.

Guys with plain grips use the cramp buster at www.crampbuster.com. Works for me.

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.
