Last week I rode over 500 miles in 2 days. It was a round trip from Crawfordville to Pensacola plus commuting to meetings while in Pensacola. Everything abut the trip on the NT was great except for an incredibly sore wrist. A friend told me about Throttle Rockers and I purchased a Throttle Rocker II from the direct site www.throttlerocker.com.
The II version has a hook and strap means of attaching.
When I first put it on I was concerned about the size interfering with braking and thought it would make city riding challenging. To my surprise, I had no trouble adapting to it. I also wondered how it would affect the benefit of heated grips (yes it does get that cold in Florida). Again, no trouble. From city streets to open highways, from 70+mph to 15mph, it has worked well. A bonus has been a noticeable increase in gas mileage from 55-57mpg to 65mpg... Can a piece of plastic make that much of a difference?
Needless to say I am totally sold on it and that was $12 (price includes shipping) well spent.
