My old man wanted me to pick up a throttle rocker for him because he saw one on a friend's Harley and thought it would be nice for his CB550. So, looking for any excuse to ride out to the Iron Pony (www.ironpony.com), I gladly agreed. I got the sucker and thought, "what a dumb cruiser modification; this is jakey," and went about my way. However, when I got to the parking lot I thought, "well, it's only packaged in a little baggy, why not put it on, try it out, and get a laugh?" I made it all of 40 feet before I determined that it is the greatest invention since sliced bread.
I don't know if it comes from improper riding position or not, but my right arm gets hella tense after riding for a while-- but I've all ready put about 70 miles on it today, and I'm in love with the thing. I know some of you guys put the risers on your bars to counteract stiffness and such, and I'm know it gets you into a more upright position, but if you want the stock set up, this little fella might help you out.
These things have been around a while, but I was surprised to not really find any information about them on this site, so I just thought I'd bring it to anyone's attention that could possibly be interested in it (and might be experiencing the same problem as me)
Thanks for listening to me ramble.
