Not much to this review except to say that it really works!

The 6 or 7 pounds that it cost did seem a little steep for a piece of curly plastic, but it was worth every penny. For those that have not seen one, it clips on round the end of your throttle meaning you can rest your palm on it which, in turn, means you don't have to keep a tight grip on the throttle, easing the cramps you get from gripping your bars tightly on long journeys.

Interestingly I used to get cramps in both hands, my brain not being sophisticated enough to grip tight with only one hand. Having just returned from a lightning trip to Chamonix in France with some quite long motorway days (including one 1000km plus day I've been bragging about in the HU bar) I consider the 'Crampbuster' properly road tested. I suffered no cramps at all in either hand, the thing is FANTASTIC!

The one down side is that it reduces the 'free' length of your throttle, meaning that when you are in town, or on twisties etc. you have to squeeze your hand in between the crampbuster and your switches. However, I'd simply remove the thing if I was riding twisties, in town or off road for any extended (more than a few minutes) length of tme. It pops off and on in a second or two.
It takes a little practice to get used to riding at lower speeds with it there, sometimes you forget and accidently open the throttle when trying to slow down etc. but it's not difficult to get used to and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone riding long distances of which there may be one or two frequenting this site!
