But in this case, you're paying a whole lot extra for pretty.
    Aluminum Go Cruise works much better than the plastic version. On flat roads it holds speed just fine for short periods of time, although sometimes it takes a couple adjustments to the throttle to get it to hold speed. Anyone looking for something to use on long stretches of road and in areas with lots of hills probably needs a Kaoko, Throttlemeister, Brakeaway, etc. For just being able to shake out your hand and rest it for a few seconds the Go Cruise is an easy and cheap solution though.

    My sentiments and observations exactly. Love my Brakeaway, and was glad to get rid of the TM on my last bike.

    Simple and effective is the Aluminum Version of the GoCruise. Not fancy but functional best describes it. Biggest drawback for the GC is the operator/installer During installation it is imperative to clean both the rubber band and jaw surfaces of any finger oils etc. Using some Rubbing Alcohol to do that simple chore will make the GC hold throttle position! Once the thumb wheel is adjusted and adding lateral stability to the mounted GC with the "Rubber O-Rings it will perform as good or better than many more expensive throttle locks

    Another Option

    The Brakeway Cruise control (lock throttle). It does work with heated grips as well. Hondabikepro(Dale) and I have them on our bikes.

    I have the GO Cruise 2 with the thumb wheel. This works great for me. Realize that this is not an electronic cruise control and your speed will fluctuate depending on the incline or decline of the road. I rode from Columbus Ohio to Gatlinburg TN and back last weekend and the Go Cruise was amazing. I also use a Cramp Buster. I think the combination of the two really worked well.

    Exactly my experience.

    I use the Aluminum Chromed version also. Works great for what I need and easy to use. Just adjust the tension and your good to go. This obviously like any other type of throttle lock will not hold speeds going up or down hills, etc.
    Using an extra Silicon ring does help on the plastic version.
