				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.

 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.
