    Have you looked at Crampbuster? Simplistic but a heck of a lot cheaper then moving the throttle. Just an idea for you to try out.

    Default Let's see....

    The question has been asked a few times and a search may help out. I don't remember seeing anyone with the change. Where there's a will there's a way no doubt. We also have a enables fourm I think you know that...may help checking with some folks there...

    I have a friend who was born without a full right arm. She has traversed the country on her 2008 Spyder GS which she had outfitted with a left footed gas pedal. She had the work done at a company that does handicap conversions on autos.

    I have a friend that cannot use her fingers due an injury that left them turned up. She has been using a cramp buster but beware, the one she bought did not fit the grip very well, a bit too loose and our grips are tapered at each end. She is contantly trying to readjust due to it working to the left or right and not gripping correctly. Take a plastic zip tie and drill a single hole through the lower part of the paddle, you can then run the zip tie around and tighten it when it is in the correct position.

    I wouldn't drill the grip....if you short the wires KISS the Heat goodbye........I would wrap tape around the grip to make it larger then put the CRAMP BUSTER ON and tighten it ..................jmho.......Mike

    Simpler than that: find the spot where the Crampbuster will work the best, and glue it to the grip!
