Sorry if I've bored anyone, I'm a relatively new subscriber who's got no
idea what's been discussed here before.   :)

OK, so I checked last night, and I was wrong.  Mine's also a VistaCruise
unit, and is a model "M. E. Supervista".   It was installed by the dealer
when I bought the bike, so I can't describe what was necessary to install
it, but it's very clean, and works well.  The mount is next to  the
control pod that houses the starter button/etc., and a lever "reaches"
over that pod and holds the thumb lever.  The friction point is a ring
that mounts on the stock (by all appearances) hand grip--I don't believe
they were changed out when it was installed.  As I said yesterday, it
works well, and for long freeway hauls, I'd want one for certain.

A few of my friends have the NEP units on their VFRs, and I've always
thought that it's a less desirable unit.  Hope that helps, sorry I had to
look to recall who made the unit.

P.S.  My comment about a "less desirable unit" referred to the NEP, not
the VFR.  On the other hand.......    :)
