The last longish trip I took was from Davie to Tampa to Gainesville. Besides the rain, I found that keeping my right hand locked into the same position caused a bit of discomfort.
I am still unsure about the safety of using a cruise control device but decided to look at the prices and ease of installation. I checked out two devices, the BrakeAway Cruise control and the Throttlemeister device.

Operating the Throttlemeister cruise control.
One major difference between the operation of both, you need to perform a bit more manual dexterity to set the Throttlemeister. I am not sure I want to try to sliding my hand around while holding the throttle in place. The BrakeAway sets by pushing a button close to your thumb.
The Throttlemeister runs a bit cheaper at around $140, while the BrakeAway runs around $200. Both work by applying friction to the throttle to prevent it returning back to idle. Both devices allow you to adjust the cruising speed up or down while engaged. BrakeAway disengages with a push button close to your thumb or by pulling the front brake. Throttlemeister disengages by turning the bar end.
Between the two, the Throttlemeister looks nicer once the installation finishes. Essentially, the Throttlemeister looks like an upgraded bar end. The BrakeAway installs over the throttle grip with a clamp and seems a bit more clunky.

In the end, the BrakeAway appears the better choice but not by much. I like the multiple options for disengaging the BrakeAway and the simplicity of the setting the cruise control.
