Throttle Lock????? I need help

[Zipper]

I purchased a universal Vista throttle lock for 7/8" bars. My questions are:
1. Can I measure and cut the black spacer on the left of switch housing to fit the bar clamp around the bar?
2. Do I cut the stock grip rubber flange ( the left end of grip) off so the grip inserts into the collar/slip ring?
If anyone has done this, please share the proper procedures for a not so sure do it your selfer.
Thank you :2thumbs:

I thought the Universal Vista Cruise was different than the one ataDude (and myself) used. I'm just saying that because the install procedure would be different. If I'm thinking correctly, the Universal one has the bar that goes across the controls to a clamp that is mounted on the left side of the controls. I know some Spyder owners had that style of throttle lock and it worked well and was easy to install. I do know that you can cut off the trim piece that is on the left side of the controls, it's just a plastic spacer, for looks.
