I know that there is a price differance but what are the other pros and cons of these makes? I need something like these for me comute to and from work. The Throttlemeister have a nicer look to them.
This is not my picture ... swiped it from another thread.
This is what I use. It's a Caterpillar O-Ring that you can purchase at any O-Ring supply store. These are like 80 cents or so. I paid $1.07 with tax.
Slide it between the bar weight and the throttle and whammo ! You can still use the throttle if you want to go faster, slower or take control to not run over the neighbor's cat.
I use this thing and it works great for me. There is one stretch on my commute where I roll this over and let go. Great little gizmo for the job, cheap, replaceable, safe.
Have not had a bind issue ... it works quite simple. Try one on for spin.
I move mine with my last two fingers. Move it around without moving the bike for practice then get out there and try it. Kinda freaky the first time but once you grab the throttle you'll see you can move the throttle without effort.
This is easier for me to get my head around than a throttle lock or cruise ... which I'm sure are fine but make me a little nervous.

Would it still work with the Grip Puppies?
Can someone keep me from going out in the rain? Do I need the Grip Puppies 1.25 to 1.45 or the 1.45 to 1.65 size for my '95 ST1100?
Gruvvy,
Did you buy your O-ring in town? If yes where?

I had a throttle lock on my ST1100. There was no way I was going to tolerate that on my ST1300.
Audiovox Electronic Cruise control. Under $100 for a real, electronic cruise control that works well on the ST1300 is tough to beat.
