I've been using the NEP (which is cheapest at about 18 bucks) on various bikes for thirty years. Works great. I would never pay $100 for anything that performs this function, especially something that tends to release when you wear winter gloves.

if it is releasing on you when you wear winter gloves then you must have huge hands or you grab to close to the end of your grip... besides it doenst only perform the throttle lock function, it is a bar end as well and adds looks and a bit of weight to reduce vibration in the bars... to each his own...

I don't understand how to lock it...

The throttlemeister has to be twisted to lock it? How do you do that without twisting the throttle out of position?

At first it seems odd but if you saw how it is designed it will make sence. The Throttlemiester is manufactured with a double or tripple lead thread (internal workings) similar to a milk jug lid that has a lot of liniar movement versuse rotational movement. In a nut shell it moves in and out about an 1/8th of an inch with a 1/4 turn from the operator. This linar movement is used as a "friction" brake for the throttle grip itself, giving it some resistance from tuning or "locking" it in posision. The word "lock" is missleading on these things, you are still able to manipulate the throttle position when the miester is engaged. The "ON/OFF" rotation of the miester is in unison with the throttle itself. As you rotate the throttle "ON" you can rotate the miester on in the same movement. The same applies to the "Off" as well. I would like to add that the friction does not ever hinder your control of the throttle ever.
They do cost a few bucks. They are made from brass and stainless steel, no plastic crap, just good old fashion craftsmanship. You get what you pay for, and in my opinion they are worth it.
Plus they look nice. :cheers
