Vista Cruise Control install help

[STMikeK]

Okay, Went to Dayotona from Virginia Beach a couple weeks ago and realized after 12 hours of I 95 that some sort of cruise control would have been nice. I am new to the site and need help already, just recieved the VC the other day for my 05 ST and was all excited to put it on till I noticed the slight modifications to install according to the website was bull. Would appreciate and information with pics to install. Thanks

You can search using the 'search this forum' link on the right side and look for vista cruise, there are several ways to get this one on the bike and guys have become very creative..

When I had my ST.. I cut off the tabs and JB Welded it to the switch housing.. worked for me..

Here's some pics from Adam Koczarski's ST1300 "how to Farkle" web site
Unfortunately, it lacks directions. The hard part is sanding out the inner diameter of the Vista cruise 'cuz it's too tight for the handlebars. I went thru 2 units till I got it right. (ps I lied.. it was also hard to remove the grips)
