Endurance is the name of the game in long distance riding, as any experienced motorcyclist will tell you. Cruise control is not just a luxury when making a lengthily trip; it’s a necessity. Nothing beats the feeling of you and your Yamaha on the open road, but without cruise control you may quickly find you’ve taken on a nasty stowaway called rider fatigue. If you’ve ever made a long trip without cruise control you’ve likely found yourself forced into taking a break because of a sore shoulder, wrist, or cramped muscles. But cruise control isn’t just expensive; a locked throttle makes navigating winding roads and dynamic cruising a headache as well. Fortunately, finding a quality Yamaha motorcycle cruise control option doesn’t have to empty your wallet, or negatively effect your control.

Weighing Your Options: Traditional Versus Alternative Yamaha Motorcycle Cruise Control Devices

The Crampbuster was designed with usability and comfort in mind. Backed by it's lifetime warranty, it is a great alternative to an expensive Yamaha motorcycle cruise control.

Some riders are skeptical of cruise control alternatives, but who can blame them? Legitimate products that present themselves as not only an inexpensive, but often more functional option seem too good to be true. This shouldn’t stop you from taking a look at the Crampbuster, a cruise control substitute for motorcycles.

Traditionally, the only cheap alternative to electronic cruise control was to use a throttle locking device. This method works by providing friction resistance to the throttle grip’s twisting motion. Throttle locks are relatively easy to install, but may require you to make permanent alterations to your motorcycle, so should only be undertaken by person who knows what they are doing. Although usually much cheaper than an electric system, throttle locks can actually be dangerous, especially in turns and unexpected emergency situations. Most experienced riders have a frightening tale involving incidents that happened to them or a friend due to a throttle lock mishap.

Electronic cruise control is safer than throttle locking devices, and operates exactly as it would in a car or truck, meaning it can disengage without any input from the rider. But, just as you may have experienced in a car with cruise control, you’ll find that automated cruise control systems react in exactly the wrong way when dealing with acceleration. This burns more gasoline than an active driver ever would. Finally, like any other mechanical device, the more complicated the device, the more prone it will be to malfunction and cost you more money in repairs. Overall, electronic cruise control devices are excellent products, but why spend all that money when you can get a great result for hundreds of dollars less?

The Crampbuster offers an elegant solution to the problem of rider fatigue, at a cost even cheaper than a throttle lock, without compromising safety. At just $10.95 per device, there is no solution more affordable on the market today. The Crampbuster is a device that is often referred to as a “wrist rest”. By not locking down the throttle you will find that you don’t need to give up finer vehicle control, while still allowing you to rest your hand when needed. Installation is also a breeze, and takes just minutes, and can be removed just as easily.

Not All Cruise Assist Devices Are the Same Are Created Equal

It is often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the Crampbuster cruise assist device has shown itself to have many admirers in the marketplace these days. But consumers should also remember that other maxim, that nothing beats the real thing. It may seem like such a simple mechanism could easily be duplicated, but appearances can be deceiving. Don’t take chances with your safety by going with an off-brand product to fill your Yamaha motorcycle cruise control needs.

The Crampbuster was the first grip control cruise assist on the market, and takes pride in producing the highest quality product on the market because of that. Each device comes with a lifetime guarantee, with free unit replacement in the unlikely event that your cruise assist paddle should break, making the Crampbuster the best value in Yamaha motorcycle cruise control assist products on the market today.

As any long-distance motorcycle rider will attest, it isn’t the bugs in your teeth or rain that can make a great motorcycle trip unbearable, it is the cramps that set in in the arms, legs and back during highway cruising. If you are looking for a Honda motorcycle cruise control, a Harley cruise control, a BMW motorcycle cruise control, or any other for that matter, you’ve come to the right place. We know that it’s of greatest concern to many riders that the right arm can start to cramp up after long rides. The left arm controls the clutch, and thus is able to be removed from the handlebars on occasion to stretch out, scratch an itch or adjust a helmet. The rider can flex their fingers or lay their palm flat on the grip. The right hand, by contrast, controls the throttle. The throttle, because it is spring-loaded, doesn’t allow the rider to remove their hand or flex their fingers, and doesn’t allow them to lay their palm flat on the grip while maintaining control of the bike.

Rather than being an electrical component that must be professionally installed on the motorcycle, or a complicated mechanical contraption that makes the front of the bike look like something out of a science fiction movie, the Crampbuster is an ideal Honda motorcycle cruise control substitute and it installs quickly. Also, it is very reasonably priced at just $10.95. It can be had in black plastic or chrome to match the styling of the bike, and in two widths. Rather than a traditional cruise control such as might be found in a car, the Crampbuster allows the rider to lay their palm of their right hand flat on the handlebar while still maintaining speed and control of the bike.

Measuring for Your Cruise Control

Buyers will have to measure their handlebars before ordering their Crampbuster<. The best way to do this is by simply holding a tape measure across the diameter of the grip. The cruise assist comes in two fitment sizes, 1-1/8 and 1-3/8 to accommodate standard or oversize grips. If the grips are larger than 1-1/8 of an inch, the larger size will need to be used.

Here's a quick video to see how to determine which size your Honda motorcycle will need.

Installing Your Cruise Control

Installing the Crampbuster is easy on Honda motorcycles. If you have chrome grips, first install the rubber gripper that comes included with the Crampbuster. Next, clean off the grip of any dirt or debris, and then pull open the curled portion of the cruise assist. The cruise assist installs with the flat portion pointed toward the rear of the motorcycle and the flat portion of the grip approximately even with the upper edge of the grip. Next, adjust the control so that it is pointed slightly up. The control can be adjusted while riding, so there’s no need to get it perfectly placed right away. It is necessary, however, to ensure that it doesn’t block the brake lever from being pulled.

Here is a quick video to show you how to instal the Crampubster.

Using the Crapbuster is as easy as installing it. While riding, push the Crampbuster around the handlebar until the palm rest is positioned where you want. By placing your palm on top, you’ll find yourself able to allow the weight of your hand to hold down the throttle while your fingers rest on the brake lever. The Crampbuster won’t be able to slip and release the throttle unless you lift your palm off of it.

The only Honda Motorcycle that has factory-installed cruise control is the Goldwing. The Crampbuster brings the same comfort to riders who enjoy the rest of the Honda lineup. Not only can the Crampbuster be used on cruisers and touring bikes, it also can be used to increase the comfort of Honda sport bikes. Considering the expense of many of today’s aftermarket Honda accessories, the Crampbuster is practically a steal, affording riders the ability to maintain a comfortable riding position and concentrate on the road ahead rather than the discomfort in their hand. When it comes to a cheap Honda motorcycle cruise control, we feel that the Crampbuster is the way to go.

The BMW Cruise Control Alternative

The Crampbuster is not a traditional cruise control in any sense. Instead, the device is a simple bit of flexible plastic that forms itself to your motorcycle’s throttle. The unbreakable plastic sleeve wraps around the throttle, and an extending flange gives the rider a place to rest his palm while riding, allowing him to keep the throttle advanced without having to grip the control.

Once in place, the Crampbuster can be moved up without affecting the throttle’s position, but when pushed down the Crampbuster’s spiral design clamps itself on the throttle grip to provide torque. It’s grasp is so tight and its movement so precise, the rider can control the acceleration with just the pressure of his hand resting on the grip.

Giving speed control without requiring a firm grip on the throttle is an ingenious solution for keeping engine vibration and signal noise from the road from numbing riders’ hands. All the work of holding the throttle’s position is done just by resting a hand on the CrampBuster, eliminating hand and finger fatigue and painful cramping caused by maintaining a firm grip during extended rides.

The Crampbuster is designed to look good and work well. It’s sleek profile will fit right in with BMW’s stylish designs, and the unit is available in either a matte black or chrome finish. To help increase comfort, the CrampBuster comes in a narrow, less noticeable style or in a wider version that gives more space for the hand to rest. The wider model also has a shorter tab for greater riding comfort.

Installation could not be easier. Simple uncoil the Crampbuster cruise assist device and allow it to curl itself around the hand grip of the throttle. For slick chrome throttles, the Crampbuster includes an easily fit wide rubber ring to slip over the handle. The entire installation, which requires absolutely no tools whatsoever, can be completed in under one minute. Two sizes are available, one for throttle diameters up to 1 3/8 inches and one for larger, thicker throttles. Here’s a quick video to see how to determine which size your BMW motorcycle will need.

The Crampbuster has received rave reviews from motorcycle publications. Motor Cyclist Magazine says the Crampbuster is a must-have for every long-distance rider, giving it five stars out of five, and Dealernews named the Crampbuster one of 2010′s top 100 motorcycle accessories.

With its ingenious yet simple and good-looking design, the Crampbuster throttle locking cruise assist device is a perfect riding accessory for those who don’t want to pay for the sky-high cost of a BMW motorcycle cruise control.
