There is a school of thought that says throttle locking devices are dangerous.
Since my first airhead (86 R80RT to my last airhead 1995 R100RT) I have used a throttle screw (item 26). They DO NOT LOCK the throttle, but apply enough friction to hold it in place. I adjust mine to give just enough friction to take the strain off my wrist, but easily over ridden by the slightest force on the grip. Your throttle should have already a hole under it just for this screw. Simple, cheap, and they last forever. I moved my screw from one bike to another as I sold them, not bad for a few dollars. These photos from MAX BMW, 88-95 R100RT. The grips are all the same, so it should be no problem getting one.

+1 on the above item #26. Often there is a clear plastic plug blocking the hole; but it is there and already threaded.........Start with this item for sure, and then go perhaps with one of the variations on the crampbuster type of device........Kent has a great suggestion about the springs and getting some that are not so strong..........Do these simple things and you will match the rest of us that have many 100's of thousands of miles showing the way.........God bless.....Dennis
