The handlebar bracket on the Vista CC is too wide to fit between the brake assembly and the electronics (starter, kill switch) box on the throttle handlebar. I worked on it for 2 hours with no luck moving the electric box and finally gave up. Has anyone solved this issue???

Many thanks.

Mellow has an install on here somewhere.

It goes between the grip and the electrical box with a small screw drilled into the box to hold it in place .

I think some of the cc bracket is cut off so it is flat.

If you cant find it on here, lmk and I'll get you some pictures .

All you have to do is remove the grip and then re-install after you have the Vista in place. I use hairspray to glue the grip back into place and leave it sit over night for things to dry out.

Which model Vista CC do you have? A google search revealed a couple of different ones.

I drilled a hole through the bottom of the throttle assembly housing. I used a nylon-stopnut so that I could adjust it and have it stay put. There's a small spacer washer between the Vista Cruise and the throttle body.

I did it sorta like 8-balls pictures...turned out just fine. There was an issue with the kill switch, but now its OK.
I have the "Universal" model, like in 8-ball's picture...with the arm across the starter housing.

I'm experimenting right now with some double sided tape on mine. I need to reposition it since the thumb lever kind of covers the starter switch.
