Question aid for thumb accelerator

which is the best aid for the thumb accelerator for my 2007 Foreman? How about the one made by Mad Dog Gear from Cabela's? I am 71 and my thumb just gives out after about an hour.

Any of the thumb throttle extensions will work about the same. I put a Cascade lever on my quad, but it is a different model than yours. With the extension or longer lever it makes it easier to push with the palm of your hand when your thumb gets tired also.

I've heard good things about that dual control setup, which lets you also twist the grip.

3/4" heater hose works for me. The price is right for a test too.

Don't know the brand but I put an extension on my wife's '08 Foreman and she loves it. Less muscle needed plus she can use her palm when total control isn't needed.

Put those extenders on my wife's ATV. She just loves them.

Be aware that there are some differences between the brands. The one purchased three years ago from Cabela's was made so that you could bend it and it would hold that twist so it would fit her hand when she uses it and then could be twisted different for my hand. The new one we bought from Gander Mountain this summer would not allow us to bend it to fit her hand.
