I used the plastic throttle lock type before and loved it. Taking my right hand off and using my left was a good change. Not recommended for twisties though, even though it's not enguaged, it'll still reduce the throttle snap-back when you release it. Not good. But for a long cruise, I'd do it.

Mine you can just twist back forward in a pinch of its easy to release.
