Was interested in the OMNI but this is very tempting and simple to install.
One thing to watch for when using throttle locks that clamp down on the throttle is damage to the heated grip. I used a "Go Cruise" and my heated grips failed. Had to replace the grip....not 100% sure that was the cause but I tightened that throttle lock pretty tight and I am thinking that led to the failure
exactly, go cruise clamps the electrical connection causing damage..

The Kaoko is better than the OEM cruise control.
My wife and I both use the GoCruise aluminum one that is adjustable. It can be used on different bars, and if it slips, you just tighten one click. When its new, I had to click it down a couple of times to get it right, rides on a wide rubber band, so doesn't mark up the grips (I have heated, with the clam shell design covers.

I agree, instead of clicking down or up one MPH at a time, for let's say a 5 or 10 MPH change, you get good enough to where you know the exact amount of travel on the throttle to get there in a split second. The biggest mistake I've seen people who have it and have problems with it is they try and accelerate up to the speed they want THEN engage the friction which is bass ackwards. The easiest way is to get around the speed you want, engage the friction, then adjust to the exact speed.
ok what you and gypsy say makes sense. . .
How is a mechanical throttle lock better than OEM cruise than can compensate for hills?
If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
The very minimal throttle adjustment required for hills, more than makes up for
no switches
no buttons
no electronics
nothing to fail
I found it a pain in the butt to adjust for the hills. Perhaps it has to do with the severity and number of hills
