This tip of the week will cover various ways to relieve wrist and hand cramps or fatigue. The two most common types of relief are generally wrist wrests and throttle locks commonly known as cruise controls.
On of the most popular wrist wrests, which will fit on ANY grip is the CrampBuster Original.
The CrampBuster is the original motorcycle cruise assist. Thousands of customers worldwide enjoy the ease of use of this simple tool.
Benefits:
• Full throttle control with a relaxed hand
• Reduces hand fatigue and cramping
• Comfortably fits your hand
• Easier throttle operation
• Eliminates throttle “creep”
• Doesn’t lock throttle on
Why you should buy:
• More control over cruise control, especially in town, winding roads, or cruising with your buddies.
• Crampbuster is the original patented design, not a copy or an imitation. When you buy a Crampbuster you are supporting the person who invented it!
If you are running a Kuryakyn ISO grip, you can simply install a Kuryakyn Extended ISO-Throttle Boss. Added to the popular Küryakyn ISO™-Grips, this little jewel can make all the difference in the world on a long ride. The Throttle Boss™ is a small adjustable paddle that is positioned under the palm of one’s throttle hand. This allows the driver to slightly relax the grip on the gas and still maintain a constant speed. Muscle stiffness and fatigue are reduced after prolonged cruising at a steady pace. A new redesigned rubber pad permits use on both grips for a matched set.
If you are running a pair of Show Chrome Accessories Comfort Grips, you can install a Show Chrome Accessories (Big Bike Parts) Comfort Wrist Cruis. For extra comfort on long rides. Comfort Wrist Cruis(TM) can be used on the right or left side and are compatible with Comfort Grips (BBP-17-371, BBP-17-373, BBP-17-374, BBP-17-375).
Throttle Locks or Cruise Controls are another popular way to relive wrist and throttle hand fatigue. Here are three of the more popular options:
If you are looking for an inexpensive Cruise Control, you just can’t beat the Vista Cruise Universal Cruise Control. This piece is made of durable Zytel nylon and easily installs in minutes on most motorcycles without requiring grip removal.
If you are looking for an almost “invisible” cruise control, check out the Kuryakyn Mechanical Throttle Cruise Assist. Attaching to the end of your handlebars, this beauty looks like a bar end weight. Simply hold the throttle at desired location & roll your little finger back to hold your throttle in position. The spring loaded tensioner makes it easy to set without over tightening for easy throttle shut down when needed. Add the left side for a bar end weight matched pair & ride on in comfort.
Now… if you are looking for the BEST and the SAFEST of the Mechanical Cruise Controls, you will be happy to find the BrakeAway Products Motorcycle Cruise Control. Finally!! A mechanical throttle management device that combines, Style, Quality, and Safety. This quality crafted motorcycle accessory is the first and only mechanical cruise control offering instant disengagement activated by the front brake lever. Normal throttle function is returned to the rider in a split second without ever having to think about it. Imagine what that could mean in an emergency situation!
There you have it… the low-down on throttle hand relief!
Thank you for watching this Cruise Customizing Tip of the Week!
Until Next Week,
Take Care & Ride Safe!

How to ride a motorcycle is an older vid.

Alright, regarding the braking issue…a few people have said that you should learn to use both brakes from the beginning……and I agree. But just not the VERY beginning. Because the VERY FIRST time you use a bike it’s confusing enough without two different brakes being thrown in….one of which if pulled too hard can drop the bike on it’s side in a flash. So the point of this video is to learn how to use the clutch….and while focusing on that….it’s best to just focus on that. And when coming to a complete stop…..you should be braking rear 90% and front 10%. Which is the opposite to how you brake when traveling at speed.

yamaha cryton scooters are sold in asia . They have 125cc engines . any performance and custom parts are welcome .
Find the best site that has what you need and see if they ship overseas. They might want a deposit, but they will send it. I was in Italy with a old Harley before they had dealers there and had Harley send me the parts i needed. you’ll find and get what you want.

I’ve got an older sport/touring motorcycle that I love riding to work and for short trips to the mountains but for long trips the stock seat is a bit hard and unforgiving, ok it sucks. Anyone out there able to recommend a good aftermarket seat, or even if you have any tricks they can share with me for making those once a year long hauls more comfortable and less numbing on the goods? Yeah yeah buy a crusier…maybe next year!

Thanks Mollie, Mike and Buster. All great ideas. Much appreciated.
Corbin is one of the big names in aftermarket seats. They make them to fit a variety of bikes, and make multiple models for some bikes. Their seats are firm, usually wider than stock, and well-shaped. In my experience, they usually offer a big improvement in comfort, but are not necessarily the last word. The most comfortable seat I have ridden is the modified Corbin on my DR650. The dished Corbin for my KLR650 is better than stock, but not the last word. I have Corbins on a number of BMW’s and they are all much better than stock.
Mayer and Russell saddles have a reputation as the most comfortable. They are quite a bit wider than stock and offer excellent support for the thighs,while spreading your weight over a wide area.
Sargent is another popular name. Their quality is quite good. I have not tried one, but many riders prefer them to Corbin, whose quality control and customer service sometimes suffers.
Some people like the gel seat pads like the one from Travelcade, but it seems that almost as many riders or more do not like them.
The Airhawk inflated seat pad gets good recommendations, as does the very inexpensive Stearns atv seat pad from Walmart.
I have had pretty good luck with sheepskin pads, and the wooden bead seat covers like the ones the Somali taxi drivers use. They keep air circulating under your butt and keep it off the seat pan if the stock seat is too soft. Wooden beads allowed me to stretch the stock seat on my KLR from 300 miles a day to 500, not as good as the Corbin I eventually installed, but still an improvement. I have been riding for years with sheepskin on any seat, stock or aftermarket.
I have also read about places that will rebuild your seat for a fraction of the $300+ you will have to pay for most aftermarket seats. Haven’t tried them or read enough about them to remember anything.

Can anyone tell me a good Motorcycle accessories company in Australia? I here that http://www.kenma.com.au are pretty good?
There is not a lot of options in online accessories here in Oz and to be honest I am not really up on accessories for general road motorbikes so would suggest you just give them a go or ask around as to those who have road bikes and what they think. Even asking the the car/motorbike section on here may help you out. I know Ballards are one of the best for dirtbikes but with a focus more on enduro riding but that is obviously not what you are after. So ask the guys in the other section.
