I saw those but was a bit nervous about their operation, I mean how safe /easy is it to apply and un-apply ?

I have one of these, they defo work, but you will all resent paying £12-£15 quid for a piece of injected moulded plastic !!

  Easy to use BUT you have to go 8-10mph over your desired cruising speed to set as it will settle back. It will also gradually slow down due to vibration/road surface/lack of tension. I considered a cable tie to increase the tension but a) I switch it between bikes b) I am worried it would be harder to roll off.

  I would still recommend and if they were only a £5 I would fit one to each bike and I am sure they would sell hundreds more if the price was more realistic

- works just fine.

Anyone got any experience of using these with grip puppies ?

[tapps]

i got a pair of the grip puppie's that pull over your existing grip's to try on my gtr,they make my grip's a fair bit wider,ok if you've hand's like shovel's,i haven't.

[Kwikasfuki]

The reason I want to try is to determine if my back pain is related to the grip/pressure. If it is, I'll be investing in a cruise control

Tapps, they will enlarge the diameter of your grips, at least they have on mine, I like 'em, but I do possess hands like shovels with fingers like sausages

Boomer put me onto the Grip Puppies and I love them.

but I was interested if it was possible to use the throttle lock with the grip puppies attached.

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

Find below Youtube video link.

Yes, it works, I have the throttle lock on top of grip puppies. Not as steady as a real cruise control, specially up and down hills, but good enough to release and stretch out your right hand.

Thanks Steph, I will give it a go.
