FYI - CrampBuster
For those riders who have a crampbuster. Found out something tonight. On my ride back from work, I noticed the throttle sticking, it wouldn't return when I released it. After looking at it for a little bit and playing with it, I noticed that the cramp buster was pinching the end of the grips and restricting the grip from rotating. Moved it inboard a little and problem solved.
Just wanted to let everyone know nb

Chris, That seems to be about the only problem with that nifty little device. I have had one over a year and find it invaluable on long trips. It also lets me ride without pain (Carpal Tunnel--not correctible with surgery)

I use one, great for long hauls but its tendancy to slide (with rubber insert) down the throttle is a small bother. The paddle tends to need adjusting too as it won't hold the position due to the smaller circumference of the throttle grip and walks its way around over time.

I'd like to pick up one of those. I do some long rides.
Sailariel - I have carpal tunnel as well. I started using these a couple months ago. I play with em at work and keep one in the car. It has done wonders. It hasn't flared up at all since a few weeks after starting with them. http://www.amazon.com/Strength-Grip-...2524414&sr=8-5 |

So far, I have loved mine, the pinching issue has been the only the second issue that I have with it, the first being getting it adjusted to the speed that I want to go while on the freeway. After I learned that, it was a piece of cake.
