which throttle lock is best?

In November 2014, after having my 1200 Sport for 1 year, I looked at the throttle grip and the space beside it... That's when it hit me, a bungie cord is the same width.... hmmm. So I used an old bungie cord and a zip tie and devised this.  I've used it for 18,000 and it works perfect.

I rode 35 years on a BMW with a throttle friction screw.  When I want it on, I simply move it 1/2" to the left off the bar end, into the slot against the throttle grip and its on. Takes a split second.  (I don't move it as far right as the photo) To take it off, I grab it and move it 1/2" onto the bar end.

I wouldn't use anything else because it works so well, with just enough drag on the throttle to keep it open, yet easy enough to use the throttle when it's on, even in-town riding.

So if the Bungie fits, try it!

Wow... I just might have to give this a try and send back the throttle lock.

before I changed bars and bar ends on my Bandit, we used Caterpillar yellow "o" rings.  Just flipped it from the bar end to the edge of the throttle grip.

"Same Difference" as my Bungie Throttle Friction Device!

Kaoko on a Breva 1100--I love it. I've had various throttle locks on various bikes and it's about my favorite. If your bike can take an NEP throttle lock, those are very good too, and cheap (Guzzi content).

I also recommend the NEP lock. I modified the most appropriate version to fit the Griso, and it worked very well, taking up almost no space. (But I removed it after installing a Rostra electronic cruise control, which is my favorite modification of all.)
