Finally got to ride my thumper to work today ( no rain - finally- in forecast ).
And talk about a numb finger saver!!!!!!
With the exception of a slight variation in speed up and down some hills, it was absolutely/possibly a big life saver....
I've got carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist and hand so bad, that within 10 - 15 minutes of riding, my thumb and first 3 fingers would go numb. I would even try moving my thumb up on the throttle instead of below - still didn't help...
Then they would start tingling, and would even start feeling like someone was sticking needles into those fingers....
So getting this throttle tensioner has to be in my top 10 list of best things I ever bought!!!!
I would hate to see how I would react in an emergency when i couln't feel my fingers or hand.....
