It took me half the damm winter but I finaly finished the Vista Cruise.
I think I found a decent way to mount it but I need to put down some
miles to see how it holds up. I even had a machine shop quote a batch
of the screws already and I may check how much it is to get some of the
throttle tubes set up without the rim that had to be removed. Basicaly
I will put together some 08/09 KLR650 Vista Cruise adapter kits if it
works. This is in case someone else out there has screwed up their
wrists snowboarding too.
I documented how I did it at the page below. Please let me know what
you think of the means of locking it's rotation.

Chris, I wish you would post some pictures of your installation. I have already taken a dremmel tool and remove the rim, but stopped there. This is a simple but effective alternative, the "Big O ring:

For anyone contemplating a "Vista Cruise": go with the "Universal".
You can probably install it in a 1/2 hour IF you don't have to remove
'Barkbusters'.

Just take the normal type and use household Goop to glue it on. Mine worked for 35,000 miles before I had to pull it off for some maintenance. Glues right back on. Never failed me. Works on pretty much any bike, although you may have to either build up a mound of glue in a couple of applications or glue a spacer on for some bikes.

I guess this thing just goes through one's email address book and
sends an invitation to everybody or group on your address list.
Sorry.

Fred,
Thanks for the photo and instruction links.
I was thinking the 08s and 09s were a bit different than the pre 08 right
side controls. I'm also interested in seeing it with a barkbuster
installed.
Lots of ways to skin the throttle lock cat. : )
Best,

The Universal Vista Cruise takes up about 3 or 4 times as much room on the
grip as the standard Vista Cruise.
With "barkbusters" you would need a very small hand to fit on what's left of
the grip.
