Hey all
Just got this in the mail today.
Put it on and went for a ride. Made a few adjustments but honestly I am not seeing how this thing works. Its so small....and I have small hands.
What are u supposed to rest on it....palm? wrist? Everytime I hit a bump my hand slips off of it and I lose speed. Just herkin n jerkin after awhile....haha.
I'm feeling kinda stupid here...so please enlighten me.

I have the longer wider 'boss. I basically use it to rest the edge of my palm on it while I stretch and relax fingers and thumb. I even get to use it for that in the hills. I haven't yet found an adjustment on it I REALLY like, because of the way the bolt holes are slotted and my hands being small. However it is a nice place to rest my hand while stretching it. I will try setting it up at the '10:00' on my grip, right now I would say it is at about 9:00 with the throttle closed.

My dad had an extra one so I gave it a go for my 60 mike commute on I75. Very very thankful for that small plastic part! I just kind of let my hand rest on it.

Ya....its gonna take some gettin used to.

I've got it at about 11...so its at about 8 for 70-75mph.

I also flipped it around so it faces out...much more comfortable. I really didn't like it the regular way....felt like it was just in the way when not in use.

Btw...I have the smaller one. I don't know how u could ride with the bigger one....can't u only fit like half your hand between that and the head of the grip?

LOL I told you ... I have small hands... I am only 5" 7' and have fairly delicate hands and feet, size 7 shoe... the kuryakyn iso grips are actually almost 2 handwidths long for me... so my hand fits from the edge of the grip to the edge of the boss without touching it =)
