    Who has one?

    How are they? Looking to get one for my Pig. I'd like something that'll be good for freeway stretches, but that doesn't dick me on the trails.

    best cruise devise there is.

    I just slide mine off the end of the grip between the throttle tube and hand guard when not in use.

    Only negative is you lose some grip space for you hand.

    I'll rephrase his statement:

    Best cruise device that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and doesn't take hours to install properly.:D

    I bought one a few months ago and really like it. Simple, effective, cheap...............just like the KLR I put it on.:lol3

    I have one of these on my R1150R, and it works sort of OK, but it definitely slips after a few uses on the provided rubberband. I've had to put some tape around it to give it more clamping power. I may try some rougher material around the throttle round to give it more friction. Jury is still out on this, but it's also the only control I've used, so not giving up on it yet. Even a half mile of relief helps, lol.

    As long as it gives me enough time to shake out my hand and get blood flowing that's all that matters. :D

    I just bought one, used it a couple of times, seems to work great on my K bike. Enough to hold it while I shake out my hand. It does attach easily, but then I have superbike grips. Will not work on foam grips. You do lose some hand grip space, but it is worth the loss in my opinion. Cheap way to get a cruise. Better than that paddle thing, cruise ease.

    just put this on my dr650 this morning. Very easy to put on and use. So far, i'm really liking it. Definately seems to be worth the money.
