I never could fit a throttle lock on my Yamaha RZ500( RD500 in Europe)
there wasn't enough room on the clip on bars, after all Yamaha didn't
change the bike all that much from their F1 race bike except to reduce
the cost. You never had a cold butt riding that bike with the rear 2
cylinder's expansion cambers under the seat but sitting in traffic on a
hot day was hell.
