I have a plastic paddle gizmo which have been used on several bikes, not sure of the brand. The principle is using the heel of your palm to apply throttle instead of straining the wrist. As I had a broken wrist years ago and carpal tunnel surgery this helped a great deal. The BMW K100 had the aforementioned adjustable tensioner on the throttle cable which worked great.
Haven't used the paddle gizmo on the Interceptor yet but it is a universal fit and sure it would help you.

I finally decided on a Kuono throttle lock which I collected today. Will give a review in due course.

I tried searching for that one... could not find it.  Can you share a link to it?
Ride safe!

I know this is an older thread but I refenced it when getting a throttle lock. I tried a vista cruise MCVICO but it always was binding the throttle. After trying that I sprung for a Kaoko ENF110 -> https://kaoko.com/product/enf110/ didn't have any trouble installing it and works well. It is pricey though. Note the Kaoko works with stock bars and goes between the grip and bar end weight. I doubt it will work if you have bar end mirrors installed.

Rubber bands between the throttle and switch block helped me out on a looong straight tour to Ayers Rock years ago

Hello, lots of mentions about Sound-offs. Has anyone actually fitted one to the Interceptor yet, and if so which model?
I've used them on my last 4 machines and they work acceptably well - not superbly but they work. I have trouble laying out $200.00 ish CAD for a Kaoko or an Atlas.  I'm expecting delivery of my new R.E. soon but can't see the throttle configuration to know which one, if any, will work.
Cheers, Robert

Vista Cruise works perfectly on my GT. One change I had to make was with the part that is suppose to grip the throttle cable. That caused the binding mentioned by others. I rotated the lock so it matched up with the flat bottom of the switch. It lays flat against the bottom of the switch which holds it in place. No problems in about 1K miles with it.

 8) I use a combination of the paddle and a throttle lock.

 Works very well and NOT expensive. I think about $30 for both.
