Ive seen some people use elastic bands that just pop in between the throttle and the switchgear...it just gives it enough resistance to work...and cost next to nothing.

Pretty straight forward, just have to seperate the brake/mirror bracket a bit to make room for the what I would call the anchor? Not tough at all... Just lemme know if you have any questions! Oh it does mount ON your right grip so you must use a flat type of grip!

A buddy of mine got me into something similar.
He uses an O ring !
The last time he visited he left me a few different sizes to try, seeing as we ride different bikes.
I found one of them worked real well.

And by gosh, the price IS right !!!!!!!!!!!

I've been using an O-ring for years. Works quite well.

Can someone post a pic of the O-ring method? I'm having trouble picturing it.

Real bad pic but you get the idea. Just google "oring cruise control" and switch to images and you'll see a bunch. The idea is put the oring where shown in the pic. When you want to "lock" the throttle you take your pinky and slide the oring between the grip and the bar end. It will hold your throttle there but is real easy to roll off the throttle if you need to.
