Which throttle set up for long commute?

I rotated my staton thumb throttle so it faces forward, its under the brake lever when brakes applied. I like a good grip on handlebars at all times. btw, it works w/ my twist grip shifter, cant shift as fast, but throttle would be in way either way.

twist grip is the way to go. thumbs get uncomfortable after an hour or so

I watched a buddy go down hard after hitting a pothole at night shifting w/ thumb shifter. for some reason he still hates twist grips, oh well, i'll get another good laugh one of these days!

At the end of the day the most important aspect is safety, in that whatever throttle mechanism is used, it must be able to return to idle (under spring tension) when taking your hand or thumb off the throttle.

This is the one I use........

I mount it forward though and use three fingers to control the throttle rather than the mounting it backwards and using thumb.

I gotta agree with Butre, twist grip throttles are the way to go.
millions of motorcycles, motorbikes, & scooters out there with
no thumb throttles. Are they all wrong?
