Original Throttle Rocker II

This simple and cheap tool is incredibly effective at alleviating the pain from gripping the handlebars for such a long time. After I got this installed I took a quick 400 mile to test it out.I have big hands and my new motorcycle has much thinner handlebar grips than my previous bike, so I was getting severe pain and cramps fairly quickly. The Throttle Rocker works wonderfully well because you can let your palm rest on it and give your hand a break. After I got back from my ride my hand didn't hurt all that much.The velcro makes it easy to take on and off or readjust. However you have to pull extremely hard to cinch it down so it doesn't slip. My Throttle Rocker II came with a small piece of rubber. It looks like it is meant to slip onto the handlebar and you tighten the velcro down around it to prevent it from slipping. However my handlebars have trail guards on them so I couldn't do that easily unless I wanted to break out some tools. I stuffed the piece of rubber in-between the velcro and the little "hump" on the plastic. It does a good job of preventing it from slipping.

This is a terrific device to ensure your throttle hand / wrist / arm / shoulder take less of a beating, especially in traffic and/or cycle events where absolute throttle control is essential and cruise controls are verboten. My throttle rocker and I have become great friends over the last few months. Like all friends, it takes a bit of time and adjustment to find a pleasing balance under all conditions. The throttle rocker under winter gloves needs adjustment to account for the thickness of the glove - compared to summertime fingerless gloves, for instance. The rocker's position on a level freeway at the speed limit might be slightly different than in a mountainous terrain where lots of throttle roll-on is needed. A rider's forearm flexibility plays an important part in adjusting the rocker. The more the rider can "roll" his wrist forward/backward, the greater the range he/she has, the easier it is to find a position for the rocker that works all the time. I recommend getting this product. It's great. But I also recommend you check out "The Tyler Twist" and start exercising your right arm. You'll be glad you did both.

This is the second Throttle Rocker II that I've owned (I stupidly left the first one on my last bike when I sold it), both have worked exactly as advertised. I have not experienced any problems like slippage or breakage that others have indicated in their product reviews. My current bike (2018 Electra Glide Limited Low) has cruise control, but the throttle rocker still reduces wrist fatigue when I'm not in cruise mode. I would recommend this product.

This is actually the original design, and it works much better than the ones that followed. Unfortunately, this could be a little more robust than it is as it is easily broken where the strap goes through the plastic.

I bought this item for my July Alaskan motorcycle adventure... riding from Oregon to Alaska. I loved the product and would have given it 5 stars had I not had to stop and adjust it two or three times a day. It slips a little bit and changes the position of your throttle hand...But it did what I needed it to do...Good stuff

So, you have to be mindful when you add something like this to your bike. But, for the long distances I cover on my bike, this is a must have. Seems, like I break one, about every year. Which, is frustrating. It works, takes a bit of fiddling to get it all sorted out and then.... you're riding into the sunset.... two thousand miles from home.

I have had this on my 2002 Shadow for going on a year now. The rocker has stayed tight and only once had to be reset. Obviously you still need to apply manual pressure but you are doing so with your palm - not your fingers and hand. It is a huge difference in terms of lack of strain.

Wouldn’t ride without this or the equivalent; had one for years on my last bike. My latest bike came with this unit (Velcro version) already on it. This purchase replaced that one (Velcro strap broke). For the price, it wasn’t worth it to chase a replacement strap only.
