Vista Cruise Cruise Control for the Real F650

I got permission from the original poster to the Chain Gang to post this email here and my club's web site:

A very smart person on the Chain Gang forum came up with this mod of the Vista Cruise Control so it will work on the 2001 plus single cylinder bikes.

I have the Kaoko throttle control on my bike which absolutely sucks. It is very difficult and distracting to engage which is why I don't use it. The Kaoko was looking pretty good until it started to show signs of rust. I guess you're not supposed to ride with it in the rain.

based on that post and the excellent write up on the chain gang site i purchased a vista cruise for my '07 F650GS. i have not yet installed it but i am hoping to do it this coming weekend. looks like a good alternative to the throttle mister i am currently using.
