I have the aluminum Go Cruise 2, but I no longer use it.
Both my CB500X and CB1100 EX would not hold a constant speed in 6 gear. Something like the big transport trucks, they would slow uphill and speed downhill. Fifth gear was a little better, but that shortened my fuel range.
It was handy on straight flat roads if I wanted to adjust my gear. Zip up if it was cold, zip down if it was hot. Also allowed me to shake a cramped throttle hand, but you don't need a throttle lock to do that.
The real reason I stopped using it was sudden stops. It was impossible to adjust the throttle lock so it will close completely in an emergency. Slows the down-gearing and leaves the bike revving when you stop. Deer and other critters are a constant threat on the roads that I ride. But not as bad as the pickup truck that sits on a sideroad stop sign, and then decides to pull out because it's only a motorcycle.
