Crampbuster

When it comes to giving a motorcycle the convenience of cruise control, the conventional wisdom often states that the best (or only) way to do this is by installing a motorcycle throttle lock. There are websites and promotional materials everywhere that declare this as the best option for motorcycle owners. But conventional wisdom is often wrong and, in this case that is no exception. Throttle locks certainly do their job, but a throttle “assist” — rather than a lock — is likely a better option that has flown under the radar for some time.

Easier to Install than a Motorcycle Throttle Lock

There is certainly a large subset of motorcycle owners who love nothing more than a good excuse to break down and install some kind of new hardware which will totally change the way they cruise down the road. For that set, the installation process required of a motorcycle throttle lock is likely no big deal. But those individuals hardly constitute the majority of motorcycle owners. Many simply prefer a bike that works, that requires minimal maintenance, and that will hardly ever inconvenience them.

Backed by it's lifetime warranty, the Crampbuster is a great alternative to an expensive motorcycle throttle lock.

For this large group of people, the motorcycle throttle assist is the ideal option.

Unlike competing motorcycle throttle locks, the assist does not require a complex installation process. There’s nothing to tear apart, repair, or replace. Instead, products like the Crampbuster motorcycle throttle assist simply slip right onto the bike after being sprung open. No tools are required, no disassembly is needed, and the tool can be used virtually instantly. For the motorcycle enthusiast — rather than hobbyist — this is the ideal way to reduce common incidents of wrist fatigue during a long ride. And its lack of maintenance makes it the easiest way to relieve this pain.

A Motorcycle Throttle Locks Can Be Expensive

Customers shop for their motorcycle based on a number of factors: quality, style, and affordability. When it comes to a comparison between prices, the throttle assist — such as that sold by Crampbuster — is a hands-down winner on affordability.

The average motorcycle throttle lock can cost as much as $250, and that doesn’t even include the time it will take to install the device. Furthermore, the less-skilled motorcycle owner will likely have to take the bike to a mechanic in order to have this device installed, which is another large bill to add to the total cost of purchasing a throttle lock. Most people are simply unwilling to bear the cost of this procedure, and so many of them go without any kind of motorcycle cruise device at all.

Motorcycle throttle assists like the Crampbuster are not only easier to install — and thus require no mechanic — but they’re also exponentially more affordable to purchase and own. For just $10.95, you can pickup a Crampubster. It’s obvious that this is a dramatic savings over the throttle lock. Even the most expensive throttle assist options are as much as 90 percent cheaper than competing motorcycle throttle locks. It’s the kind of savings that really is a no-brainer for the well-educated motorcycle owner.

Guaranteed Replacement of Defective or Damaged Products

All of our Crampbusters come with a lifetime warranty and are guaranteed to work. This commitment to customer satisfaction is not common among many companies who sell motorcycle throttle locks. Because these more intensive solutions must be installed manually, and often function differently based on the bike and the quality of installation, many throttle lock companies simply do not back up their products with as firm a guarantee.

With Crampbster there’s no fine print, no complex warranty, and no “gotcha” legalese. If the device breaks, it’s replaced. When combined with its overall lower cost of purchase and installation, it just makes sense for the average motorcycle owner to choose this option.

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

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.

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

Using the Crampbuster is as easy as installing it. 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.

One of the biggest thrills for a Harley motorcycle enthusiast is riding his favorite bike on long, open stretch of road where traffic is minimal and he can enjoy the wind in his face. But such long drives can still cause stress as even though you do not have to maneuver a lot, just keeping the bike on a steady path still requires a considerable amount of effort. That is why, for a lot of people, the only solution is getting a Harley Cruise Control. But a good Harley Cruise Control can cost a pretty penny, and as many know, even the best, most expensive Harley Cruise Control products out there will still present some problems for the rider.

That’s why we encourage you to take a look at Crampbuster’s Motorcycle Cruise Control.
