I've used a number of them over the years.
I've got a very old one of these, it's worked very well for me on many different bikes.
It just barely holds the throttle in position when set, which suits me just fine. I can easily twist the throttle with it set, so no problems with emergencies and such.
This is another that intrigues me for its simplicity. No personal experience:
There are many variations on it now.
Personally, I don't care for cramp buster or similar. They'd slip fairly quickly, weren't easy to readjust on the fly and get in my way when I need to use the brake.
Many of the other throttle lockers are overly complex, and often times not that stable or secure.
Currently I've got a Road King with true cruise control. Still not sure how much I like it as compared to a simple throttle locker. Yes, it does a better job of holding a steady speed. But I do not like the bike rolling on the throttle under me without my input. I don't mind it in a car, but on a bike, I can find it a bit disconcerting.
