I don't see much on the forum on the subject. Used one on the ex Gold Wing a lot, but now not sure about my 2020 RTL, I think it might be a help, but just not convinced enough to toss out 10 bucks or so to experiment. I know, the RTL has the cruise control which is totally handy on the Spyder. Jus throwing it out there to see how others might be enjoying the 'throttle boss', or whatever term is used these days. Thoughts?

Well I use one, I'm not sure what brand it is anymore. I have wrist problems, so it helps when I'm not using Cruise control.

Used them on past bikes, but never on the Spyder. I will be ordering this one later this week. The larger diameter is due to me also having Grab On foam grip covers installed.

Years ago I wasn't happy with the effort it took to modulate the Throttle on my 14 RT.... so I took out the Spring that was visible ..... Now it is easier to use and still has enough strength to return by itself ..... Mike :thumbup:

Thanks for the responses, I'm still on the fence, but I'll figure it out. Don't want to overthink this, $10+ out the door, if it doesn't work, not a big problem. With Amazon I have options to return.

They had them on sale at Cycle Gear last Tuesday's open house for $5.00
