anybody put vista cruise on an 08 yet??

>>Has anybody put one on an 08 before?

I put an NEP CC4 (I think: the other version would also work - CC3? Or vice-versa.) on. Not quite understanding what that lip thing on the throttle grip was for and as it was in the way I dremeled it into oblivion. On my '99 I had drilled a hole in the throttle casing and stuck a screw through it to fasten the tab on the throttle lock to; on the '08 I lazily bypassed all this by merely drilling a hole in the tab on the NEP and using a cable tie to snug it against the throttle casing. One of these days I'll get around to posting the pictures: it's not unattractive, works very well and the only even partially difficult thing is removing the lip. Can't speak to the Vista cruise.
