I have been looking for a throttle rest for a while, and finally found time to hit up the IronPony and check out what is available. I decided on a left-handed Throttle Rocker and fit it to my bike.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, I digress, sort of. I have big hands for a girl. Not just big, but long. Gloves are a total joke, and I usually end up wearing a mens’ L or XL just to have room for my fingers and thumbs. This turned out to be a problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAs you can see, my hand fills up the grip where the Throttle Rocker isn’t.<\/p>\n

I tried my favorite waterproof gloves that mostly fit – a sweet pair of Racers:<\/p>\n

Then I tried my everyday gloves, some IXS RS200s (mens’ XL!):  <\/p>\n

\nYou can see where this is headed. I went ahead and rode with the Throttle Rocker for about a week, during which my bike kept shutting off on me. Knowing the history of my poor old GS, I was starting to wonder if I was headed down the bad path again, but quickly realized that I was shutting off the bike myself as my gloves were hitting the kill switch when I rolled off the throttle! Yikes is not the word for it.<\/p>\n

So, while I really do like the comfort and the function of this sort of palm rest, I don’t think it’s going to work out for me<\/p>\n
