Anyone recommend a decent cheap but works throttle lock?

In a weak moment with $30 in my pocket I bought one in aluminum to replace the old plastic one I use. The thumbwheel on the metal one makes it a tad too thick for me and after one ride I took it off.I've been relatively happy with my cheapo Go-Cruise GoCruise Throttle Control - webBikeWorld for the past 6 or so years and swapping from my previous bike over to my NC700.
I was eyeing the "new and improved" version that appears to have a clever adjuster thingy built in though.

As a potentially more economical alternative; you could always try the good old standby Caterpillar O-ring method

I seem to recall that getting the NC's bar weights on and off can be a complete pain - was it easy to get the Kaoko one to pick up the internal nut and bite?There's also this type from Kaoko, although it's a little more expensive.
It also works with the popular Barkbuster guards people put on the NC700X.

I got one on sale and fitted it to an ebike throttle and it works as described.

There is nothing easier, cheaper and super quick to install than the "O" ring.
I added the flat washer simply to keep the washer from accidentally being rolled off the end of the grip.
I have had it hold throttle position for at least 10 minutes on several occasions.
IIRC, it cost me a whopping 43 cents and 5 minutes time.
I purchased the kaoko throttle lock and it came in today.
I haven't mess with the handle bar weights as yet. I hope its not a pain in the a*s to take those weights out.
