Default THUMB ASSIST products for ATV's

Rtick,

My daughter uses the Moose adjustable one on her Sawtooth, which is like what hobbles put a picture of. My wife had one on her Hawkeye. I mounted them both up and never had a problem with either of them. It definitely makes the throttle lighter.

Let me know if you need a pic. Good luck.

Rick,
I feel for you guy, working constantly on a computer keyboard I try to make sure I get plenty of hand exercise throughout the day.

Anyway, another school of thought., There are several Twist grip throttle conversions out there. That might be another option although more expensive than the thumb assists. it is a different motion with larger muscle groups.

im not a big fan of twist grips on an atv where to me anyways they can become dangous and slip while throttle thru rough area and put it into a tree lol. imo.

My buddy(from work) bought a twist throttle for his Yamaha Banshee....and send it back.............Too much trouble with the safety built in ...Such as our ETC...........He may have got it right if he stuck with it........But with a new Quad and little too steamy in the head(no patience)...LOL.......Caper..........

I have been looking at these products as well and I'm glad someone opened a thread about them. I have looked at several options and I think the smaller one would be the way to go a lot less likely to get caught on things if something does happen. I think the twist grip for that reason alone would be enough not to get it.

Mornin Bobrear
They are both the same length and size, It's just the pro can be adjusted and the other can't. Mine is set at the end (farthest out) but cad be adjusted and bent to fit your wants,

Wow thanks for all the responses. I think I am leaning
towards the Mad Dog Pro for the adjustable options.
What a minute Fathers day is coming, LOL..Ohhh boy!
