Identify the throttle lock

Might as well throw in my 2¢, your pictures look like the left and right grips. Are they both in fact pictures of the left grip? Let's make sure we are all on the same page - left and right sides of the bike are from the rider's perspective when he is sitting on the bike.

Looks to me like picture #1 shows a heated grip controller in the background on the flat part of the fairing below the glove box. Left side of the bike.
 
Seeing there's some sort of "spacer" between the hand gear switches and the grips on both sides, and you can see the clutch "spacer" has what looks like a switch that pulling the clutch may activate, perhaps this is some type of cruise control. That would explain why it functions like a throttle lock.
 
Unless the image is flipped the first pic is of the left (PORT) grip. The left mirror is in view. The second pic is taken forward of the left grip facing aft.

I think we're looking at just the left grip. But that definitely looks like a switch that to be activated when the clutch is pulled. Given the complexity of design for the BreakAway throttle lock this rig could be just a throttle lock and not a cruise control.

It looks like there's an additional bit between the pod and the grip to provide the cables and support for a throttle tube. Good question about the "sole throttle". I'd think more than one per set of bars could get — awkward. Very professional custom work.

It's interesting to me the OP is curious about the throttle lock make and not the fact that the throttle is on the left side with no mention of why that is. Challenging mystery. The game is afoot.

Yes, upon closer inspection of the photos you're correct. It's a front and rear view of the clutch side bar. Thanks for that!

Nothing to really to show. I'm not seeing much other than a thick collar at the end of the grip with a cable housing coming out of the back.

That those headed grips are installed incorrectly in relation to the wiring route is one thing (risk of braking and/or hinder throttle operation)...

But what I can make out in your photos is some additional, obviously bespoke throttle cable assembly on the left handlebar.
Can't tell though if this serves as either/or throttle operation (i.e. to free the right hand for gun operation/others), or it only helps in locking the actual throttle tube and cables on the right, needs to be figured out...

I would however start with correcting the route/position of the heater wiring immediately to prevent imminent damage...
 
Cables should run down to throttle bodies, It locks at throttle control on left side.. Old school cruise

That’s an electrical cable. Something electric going on there for sure.

In addition to the electric cables there's also a regular operating cable if you look at the picture closely comes out at a 90° with a lock nut on it
