Parts might be cheaper at your local bike shop.

in my country a cruise control system must deativate when the brake is pressed or its illegal

ive been thinking of attaching a magnetic clutch to the side of the throttle arm
which locks when powered
they are like $20 on ebay

add an on off switch to activate it and a cut switch on a relay under the brake
seems simple enough

ill give it a shot and take photos if it works

Has anyone heard of electronic throttle lock? I've read about it, but cannot find it anywhere. I'm getting parts ready to retrofit cruise control, but was wondering about throttle lock as well.

No, you just do it the same as dcb, and don't refer to it as cruise control at MOT/inspection time. Its a throttle lock for your exhaust gas generator, which needs to run at higher than idle for extended periods...
