I've had this awhile, Throttle Rocker 2.  $10 bucks.  Very poor man's cruise control.... but I like it a lot!  Very adjustable. You can have your hand just sitting there resting pretty much. The other thing I like, when lane splitting you can control your speed with the heel of your hand while covering the front brake, and that comes in handy other times (extreme twisty riding).  Really cuts down on the reaction time.

Actually, I've only seen the different versions in black. It's some form of plastic so you could paint it yourself too. I think there is some glare making it look silver.  I like this version because it has a  velcro strap instead of just plastic so you can get it good and tight. Throttle Rocker 2  I think the "2" means it's the updated "velcro" version of the original Throttle Rocker.  There are others out there too with similar names.

Agreed, it's a well spent $10.

On my 3rd bike running with one of these.
