throttle controller for hand numbness

I ordered up a "Go Cruise" throttle controller for the new bike. http://www.aerostich.com/go-cruisetm-th ... rol-1.html

I get carpal-like pain, tingling and complete numbness in my right hand after about a half hour or so, and my current solution is to just pull in the clutch and coast on the freeway while I rest and stretch my throttle hand a little. I ride freeways about 3 1/2 hours round trip when I commute, and of course would never use it anywhere else.

It also wants to go too fast all the time, and I don't want to spend that much on gas. I try to keep it at 60, but when I look down, I'm going 80.

Hopefully this little thing will work. It's a lever that you rotate to rest against the brake handle to keep the throttle at one position. Much smaller than a "crampbuster," but at the same time, it doesn't "lock" the throttle and need so much effort to be disengaged.
