I posted here recently that having settled on a comfy seat (sargent) I was no looking to reduce the wrist-cramp I get on long motorway journeys it was suggested I try a throttle-rocker and/or throttle lock. I went for the rocker first since it's cheaper.
It arrived a few days ago and today I tested it on a 200 mile motorway trip. It's a crampbuster from scottoiler. I understand that the crampbuster is identical to the original throttle-rocker. The throttle-rocker II is a different design.
What a fantastic bit of kit. It wraps around the throttle and sits under your right wrist meaning that you do not need to grip the bar to hold the throttle open. You can completely relax your fingers. You still get full control of the throttle and the hand position to open and close the throttle are not changed. After two hours on the motorway my right wrist is usually screaming at me, today I could have sat there for two more.
An unexpected bonus was that it helps with reaching the indicator cancel button while driving round town. When accelerating out of a corner and trying to hit the cancel button - an awkward business I've sort of got used to - it makes controlling the throttle while your thumb is out a good deal easier.
It's perfect for UK motorways where you are making constant throttle adjustments. The crampbuster lets you drive just as you would normally. I suspect a lock might be more useful when you've got hours of traffic-free tarmac to play on and do not need to adjust the throttle much.
