Cruise control

Saw this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Cruis...8AKN6H7ARF


I'm tempted to try it but I'm concerned that it might get in the way somewhat. Has anyone tried something like this?

I've tried one and really didn't get on with. It also made me realise that I really don't hold onto the bars very tightly and I hold the throttle open more by light downwards pressure (i.e. resting my hand) than gripping and twisting. If you can borrow one for a day I would recommend doing that before buying.

Thanks for your reply trudd. I found one for a fiver and ordered it before I saw your reply. I'll give it a go and report back -- if I don't get on with it it's not the end of the world and I can re-use it as a shoe horn...

My dad has one that he got with his scottoiler. He let me use it when I went to Portsmouth and for long dual carriageway stuff etc it was quite useful but in towns it can get in the way. Easy to move it though, you twist it the opposite way to the throttle. I haven't bought one since so I guess I can't have been blown away but it was fairly useful for the majority of that trip and kept my hands and wrists slightly more comfortable.
