What is the best throttle lock to buy

The clothespin style is easily removable. So it's appearance isn't really an issue unless the rider doesn't like the appearance while riding. Because its removable, you can use it on more than one bike if you like.

However, an advantage of the built in is that you won't lose it. And it won't be with another bike. When you need it.

It's good to know that folks are pleased with many options.

One thing that I thought was really no help at all was the paddle style that just spreads the throttle force to your wrist joint. I had one of them for about an hour on an FJR and I took it back to the store.

Yes, throttlemeister! Not as gaudy as those caliper looking gadgets. Very easy to use & you can still back off the throttle while it's "locked in"

Man, I hope that person is ok.
That shouldn't happen IF the throttlemester is adjust properly, which it does need to be, by making sure the tension on the twist grip is enough to hold it in place, but not too tight that you can't turn it forward with it in cruise position. (don't ride the bike down the rode until you have tested it without the engine cranked) - the tension is set by how far inward it is mounted against the twist grip, as it is turned it rotates in toward the grip, putting pressure against it. If it was set completely against the grip while turned all of the way out, I could see how that could get so tight you couldn't cancel it in a quick decision situation.
I'm not a salesman for them. mine was on the bike when I bought it. That being said, I rarely use it because I don't really get tired enough to need it. even the 800 miles to Leakey & 800 back I don't even remember using it.
I used it a little bit when I first got the bike until I got used to riding it.
 
I know I've contributed a suggestion to this thread, but I've got to admit that all of these throttle "locks" look like lawsuits waiting to happen.

My Tiger Explorer has cruise from the factory and it works beautifully. So Triumph knows how to do it.

I checked out mccruise, and it's not for me. I would sure like to see Triumph add cruise and make it compatible with older units, but it won't be added until they've gone to ride by wire. And if it's ride by wire, then it won't be backward compatible.

For now the throttle lock, used occasionally, seems to be my best option.
 
If'n you're suspicious of throttle locks, the CrampBuster does a pretty good job of relieving the clenched hand by providing a bit of leverage for your palm to rest upon.
 
It was a bad deal, that person was Watcher, a memebr of this forum,@xhdskip was almost ran over but Watcher managed to swerve around him
