Default Bad throttle side wrist

My Dad is nearly 70 now and has some chronic pain in both wrists that's made it hard for him to ride in the last few years. He just bought a Tri-Glide and we fixed the clutch side issue with the ClutchWiz (great product!), but he's looking for something to make around town riding, where he wouldn't necessarily be using the cruise control, more comfortable on his wrist. The less he has to pivot his wrist, the better, but he still needs to be able to reach the brake. Any thoughts/experience?

I think Kuryakyn has what they call a "throttle boss" that attaches to the grip. It may relieve a little pressure and thus reduce pain. Other companies have them too, but I had a Kuryakyn, so that's why I mention it. You could Google and probably come up with 5 different brands.

I have this on both sides, lay your hand flat , and it works well, I use it, because my throttle side thumb would go numb, now I just flatten my hand, and it goes away.http://www.throttlerocker.com/
