Pressure On Throttle Hand - Something To Try For The Pain

[Mogster]

Aprilia Tuono/RSV rear brakes..hahahahahahaha....oh dear...hahahahaha...

They work ....once a year... for the MOT... for the rest of the time they are on Holiday..... in Rimini..apparently it's very nice there..

soo nope I don't use the rear brakes very much at all, even when i had the GTR

That is what I put last week, I tested it successfully this " meet up week end" on boring motorways from Falkstone to Tweksbury and back, the best 20 bucks I ever spent.
Unfortunately, they only ship within the US...

Well, for those of you that do cover the brake, (like me  ) then have you all rotated the front brake lever around the bar so that it's a little further down - particularly if you're quite tall?

I found that this just about doubled my distance between breaks!

I'm hoping you mean rest breaks not braking distance

Usefully, yes

well for someone who started out on dirt bikes from a youn g age,stuck mainly to road bikes through an apprentiship (cuz i couldnt afford both at the time),trials riding green laning,and enduro bikes, trial bikes are rode mostly with two fingers covering both front brake and clutch!!!,still do it know on any road bike in towns,especially in traffic!
sorry but you should know me by now an my computer skills!,(i meen lack of um,lol),but thought you my be intrested,,,,an dont know how to post links like you clever buggers,,,,,bought a "cramp buster" from m&p`s on the w/end £7.00!,small devise that fits over the throttle grip that sits just under your palm,think some web sites were advertising them as a cruise devise????,
anyway,takes about 1min to fit,did a 120ml coast run on sunday with them,1/2 way round found them fab!!!!!,cuts out some of the vibration too!,
they are made by "scot oiler" and advertised as a cramp buster,-just thought id let you know how they were.
and for fooks sake,whens the summer due

I use one of these http://www.equinoxmc.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=42 on long haul rides, it takes the emphasis on 'gripping' the throttle and allows a much more relaxed feel.

I use one of theses when I remember to take it with me..! and mine was only this much

It does not work very well, I had it before and I replaced with what I posted above. It does help to rest your hand as you can open your palm but you will not be able to either release the handle bar or keep constant speed...

I gues the "do not ship internationally" could be a problem! Steph, how does it work?

Has anyone mentioned this?

For a Throttle lock I use the ThrottleMeister. http://throttlemeister.com/
It looks good, works good and can be swapped between my 1400 and 1000 GTRs.
Not cheap but I have the heavy version which helps damp out what few vibes make it to the 1400s bars.
On the 1000 it makes long rides possible.

As for the brake lever, yes, I have it rotated down as far as it will go.
Have done the same to the clutch.
I would like to be able to rotate them further down but it fouls the switchgear.

I've bought a throttle lock from here: http://www.throttlemate.co.uk

Will let everyone know how it goes
