Tired throttle hand?

A tip for when using your cruise control not appropriate: I'd never had fixed bar ends, but now realize that by moving my throttle hand outward so it's half on the end, it saves wear and tear on your arm and hand at the end of a long day's ride. No need to keep rearward rotational pressure when your outboard fingers are anchored on the unmoving bar end. Yet still easy to twist the throttle at need. Also useful when on a really rough or wavy road, in that prevents your hand/arm from flopping up and down and giving inadvertent twists of the throttle and the resultant bursts of acceleration/deceleration.
