I have an attachment to my Kuryakyn ISO grip that does the same thing.  I use it.

Another "friction" type throttle control (like the Vista Cruise) is the "Flip-a-Lever"

http://www.schneidersinc.com/flip_a_lever.htm

That's what I have on mine.  Works fine with stock or the Kuryaken Iso-grips.

That's the one that fits between the throttle grip and the switch housing, right?

That's the one that I wish I had, but I bought my Vista when I had stock grips.  After I changed grips, I had to put the plastic housing for the Vista in a lathe and bore out about 1/32" to make it fit.  Not a big deal.

The Vista is pretty good for something that fits all bikes.  The stabilizer bar that runs across the switch housing is all that has ever bothered me with it....

...so last week I made a more permanent and less obtrusive mount.  All I gotta do now is find some button head or allen head 4 mm bolts.

Mounts on the bottom of the switch housing using the screw that holds on the throttle cable.

I put on the Kuryakyn ISO grip since those picutres.  Works fine with those as well.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Oh yeah, I remember that one.

I like the use of that screw too (that's where my helmet lock used to be)...

I just bought a Cramp Stopper and took the Suzi out for a short ride on the Interstate, and it made a world of difference.  I could rest my wrist on the devise and it held at a steady 65-70 with no effort at all, and no vibration to speak of.
Just like the Superbrace, this is one small attachment that I did not know how I got along without. Grin Grin 8)

Did you answer this question???

With that device can you remove your hand from the throttle?
Unfortunately the Savage does not have the throttle set screw like most bikes, so when you let it go, it throttles down. Mine is the Throttle Rocker with no provision for cruise. It still helps with throttle fatigue from being able to rest your palm on the "ear" instead of the death grip. I also wear, and have worn for years, wrist supports like you see drummers and guitar players wear.Im' not talking about the ugly things doctors want you to get. Most athletic stores and music stores carry then in different colors. When I was at GM I even got them to hand out to employees on the line to help with wrist fatigue. They are not real tight, and you wouldn't think that they would do much, but you will notice a real difference. I bet Rockin_john knows what I mean.       Hutch

The one I bought is identical to the Throttle Rocker.  It is either called a Cramp stopper or Cramp Buster.....Something like that.  It takes a little to get used to in traffic, but that is only a day or two.  ove it already.
