To be honest,I've only used it a couple times but what I've done is,I've locked it as I'm getting on the freeway. As JT explained,you can still move your throttle with it locked,it just stays where you leave it. I will say that it's not the easiest to lock/unlock while moving but it's shouldn't be something you change often anyway,right?

Well while at the Gap I figured out I could really improve my corner speed by taking all the slack out of my throttle. Takes some getting used to after riding the bike for a few years with the amount of slack I used to like in it but really made a difference!

my $.02

To lock my throttle, I grab the throttle with my left hand, then twist the Throttlemeister. You can't twist both the throttle and the lock at the same time, it takes about a 50% throttle turn to lock the device.

I was riding to/from Sturgis in a big group, so I was having to tweak my throttle position once in a while. It wasn't a big deal.

My review, after my huge road trip was that the Throttlemeister is pretty nice! I wouldn't jump on it if you don't do any highway cruising. It's not very useful for anything but that.

If basic heavier weights are what you're after, get the Manic Salamander weights without the throttle lock.

If you want heavier weights and a throttle lock, nothing beats a Throttlemeister.

stomp grip is by far the best bang for your buck for mods. takes a shitload of strain off your back and helps with body positioning. a tired rider is not the best rider. plus its only $30-35!!
