Anyone have the Throttlemeister installed and if so, how well do you like it?

Had one on my last bike - BMW. I did not use it very often. It is not a cruise control, but rather a throttle lock. If you are on level ground, you can use it for a bit to relax your right hand. However, it is next to impossible to adjust it so as to keep your speed steady for more than a few hundred feet. You will probably find the bike gaining speed or loosing speed. Even if you get it to stay reasonably steady, any minor change in the slope of the road will affect your speed.
The one thing it does do well is to reduce the tendency for the throttle to return to idle if you remove your hand from the throttle. You can adjust the tension so that you can lightly hold the throttle and maintain your speed. You can easily override the Throttlemeister by increasing or decreasing the amount of throttle as long as you do not have the tension set too tight.

It is NOT a throttle lock
It is a throttle dampener
I dont ride with out one.
Unlike the locks of old, you can still move the throttle if needed, if just has more resistance.
I gained 4-6 mpg
I do mainly freeway miles.
