On second thought........... maybe I passed on this too quickly. Have you/anyone used one of these doo hickies before? Are they ok?, crap? Somewhere in the middle?

I've never used one myself, but know a few people who have them on their bikes.
One guy however hated it so much (he said it interfered with the throttle), that during a refueling stop during our ride, he removed it and literally hurled it as far into the distance as he could! :pinch:
These "Cramp Busters" only allow the rider to loosen their grip on the handlebars and relax their hand while still keeping down pressure on the throttle to maintain speed.
A "true" cruise control like the Vista Cruise style allows the rider to completely remove his hand from the grip, permitting the rider to uncramp his throttle hand, scratch his left arm or leg, or even adjust "the boys" if they're gettin' uncomfortable while still maintaining the same speed. :whistle:

I even went for a lighter throttle spring from Canadian Tire so that I don't feel like I'm fighting the bike mile after mile. Works for me.
Best of success!
