I used them for a few years and they were OK. They can get in the way sometimes when you are in city traffic. Keep it near the outside end of the grip so you can move your hand without hitting it.
I stopped using it when I went to larger foam grips. Whth those grips it would not hold, it would slip.
They do not last a long time.

Used a throttle rocker for a while and liked it unless I was in traffic. Then it was somewhere between inconvenient and outright dangerous. It now resides in the parts box and in it's place is a throttle lock which works great on the hiway and is no problem whatsoever in town.
