    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I bought one a few months back and have really liked it. It takes a few miles to get used to, and you do have to get it in the right spot for you, but after that it's good. This is one part that will stay with me, not the motorcycle. :D

I usually pull mine off and hang it off the center of the handlebar. I leave it there for short rides, and pop it back on when I am going for a longer ride.

But I agree, excellent product!
 
I have used a throttle rocker on several different bikes and really like them.

The only problem I ever had with them was using them with the soft foam touring grips I had on a Honda Sabre they tore up the grips.

The cure was to cut small slits in the grips so that the small end of the throttle rocker fit inside under the foam. The slit needed to be positioned so the rocker could be rotated to the positions that you use it in without coming out of the slit, and could be pushed back into the slit and be out of the way when riding.

On the GS I am using some dirt bike gel grips and have no problems using the throttle rocker with them. The one I have on the GS is a knock off and not a real throttle rocker. I can't remember the name and it works very well but I find I like the shape of the original a little better.

I like for longer rides. It seems like it gets in the way, sometimes, around town. (It could be just me not being used to it, since I remove it for shorter rides.)

It has helped my hand feel better, though.

I have one on my bike too....and I have it in a spot where when my hand is around the grip, the rocker is between my thumb and index finger. Since I've gotten used to it, I haven't noticed it being in my way.

It definitely helps out on longer rides so you can rest your hand some.
