Which crampbuster to buy?

[zman]

I have been seeing 3 widths being sold, narrow,wide and extra wide. Any opinions, feedback on the wider ones, do they get in the way or are they actually more comfortable the wider they are?
Thanks.

I got the extra wide chrome one about a month ago and I don't know how I rode without it. It just takes a little getting used to. Got it from fullcirclepowersports off ebay model 4C for 9.74 shipped to the door.

Great! Thanks for the advice, I sometimes find myself sqeezing on the grips and have to make a concious effort to keep from doing it. I`m hoping this will help.

I have the wide one and have used it for the better part of 4 years. I like how fast I can adjust it to different conditions. When I am on the highway doing 70-80 MPH continuously, I roll it back a bit so that I can hold the throttle level with no effort. Come off the highway and while slowing down I roll it around to prepare for stop and go driving again with the crampbuster level.

I use the extra wide, and adjust it higher just before getting on the freeway, then down when I get back in the city.

I have the wide one.
It helps to ease the squeeze for sure and also to hold the throttle while stretching the fingers out.
I've riden without one and really miss it.

I used the wide one on my '77. The SEi and 1800 both have cruise, which is SO much better! For a fully faired oldwing, I'd go with the Rostra electronic unit.

When I put on Kuri Iso Grips, I also put on an extra wide - as others have said, it makes a difference! They really do work...

Well I for one do not have one and have always relied on a throttle lock, and for my efforts, I took some good natured ribbing from Gerry for it while using it in the hills of Kentucky and West Virginia. The throttle lock would not keep up with the hills and I would start to slow down a bit before I got my hand onto the throttle to twist the wick to get up a hill.

I am reading everyone mention that they need to adjust the crampbuster to get the correct postion set... are the crampbusters one size fits all or are there specific sizes? To me, it looks like they just slip onto the grip, so I have to wonder how it locks into place to hold tight. I should have looked a little closer when I was around a bunch of bikes with them on.

It is one size fits all. The way it works is, there is a rubber sleeve you slide onto your grip and then you slide the cramp buster on. The cramp buster is not a solid circle like a pipe, it is actually a round lever if you will because it is more of a clamp. Wherever you set it, when you press down on the wide part, it squeezes the clamp together on the rubber sleeve and that is how it grips the throttle. Let go and it loosens its grip making it infinitely adjustable. (Righty tighty - lefty loosey?)

I will try to get pics up as soon as I can.

That explanation works for me Gerry! :thanks:

hmmmmmmmm.... MY crampbuster is attached to the end of the grip with 4 allen screws.....not sure what kind you have. My throttle lock, however, is attached like that.

Brian, Be aware there are different handle bar grip sizes cb1 and 2 are for smaller grips and 3-4 are for larger grips. They say to measure the grip and choose your model.

Mine is part of the grip, too....and adjustable with a small allen wrench. I don't think I could live without it...
