So i put one on my vfr last night as I typically ride 25 miles each way to work several times a week. The Vista Cruise was cheap but took about 2 hours of filing/cutting and re-trying. I also had to cut the thumb lever half as long so it didn't touch the gas tank at full turn. It was a great addition for the money. I don't like the end of the bar locks and this one handed solution does work great and allows you to rest your throttle hand when you need to. Want top mount rack to replace my backpack holder:
aloha, I have been using a vista cruise on all my bikes(past and present)(street). I also find it a very good investment for the money and my purposes. I have a universal model on my 98' VTR and a standard on on my 87' VFR. I do not have contact with my tank on both(though it is very close). To be honest, I never thought about trimming the thumb lever. It is a good idea. I ended up attaching the c/control to the starter switch(one half) so it can be removed with the housing should I need to(I have a spare housing also if needed) on the VFR. Really helps on the staright aways while doing the around the island cruises. Also those times when you need to rest/relax your hand.
