Looks less intrusive than traditional crampbuster.

Being a tight arse i made one of these - i cut one out of a plastic butty box. It's been on my bike for over 12 months and i personally think it' great. On Scotland trips it makes the motorway work easy, plus it helps your group to stick at a steady speed if you take point.

Can't see what all the fuss is about the throttle being stuck open, when i need to brake the natural roll of your hand across the throttle grip as you reach for the lever shuts it off!.....Is a car on cruise control not the same if you take your foot off the accelerator, ie accelerator stays open?

Nowt wrong with them if you use them as intended, if you want to put it on then have a picnic whilst riding along then thats when trouble comes knocking.

got too close to the car in front it would also put the brakes on for you to maintain a safe distance.

Can't see BMW using that in their cars

It could be switched off though, and you set what you consider to be a safe distance.  BMW would calibrate it in millimetres rather than metres.....

I've actualy bought one of these - not had chance to run out with it yet though.  Will update once we get some warmth!

After B3TAREV3 comment, I've now made one as well. Not used it yet and may need some tweeks....we'll see how it goes.
