Once you have the new one, you might consider adding this very useful little accessory: Throttle Mate. Best $15 I've spent on my bike; I use this every time I start her up. Plus you can quickly lock/unlock the throttle should you suddenly need that hand free for any reason.
Although I can see how that one would be easier.

I just picked up the kit from HD, which includes the spring and the clip for $6.?? I didn't know about the clip, which I probably screwed forcing the screw to come out. I just hope the little shoe is still in there, I've had that housing apart a couple times, it could have fallen out without me noticing.

I installed my new throttle lock. The JP Cycles looks nice, but being trapped between the throttle cables, I'm wondering if you'd get enough swing to lock the throttle. My wheel needs to turn quite a bit to go from totally free to totally locked. Anyone have one of those fancy things installed?

I a "fancy one". I use it every time I'm on the bike. No interference on the cables but adjusting it to lock is super touchy. Takes some patience to get it right where it needs to be so that it will hold the throttle where you want it while also giving no friction when it's off. I like it, I'd buy another one.
