I have a vista cruise and I prety much only use it if I'm doing a lot of highway driving. 100 miles or more I may use it once or twice to give my hand a rest. But its nice to have. There prety easy to install. The way you want to line it up before you clamp it down is you want it rotated so the trigger is pointing toward you. If its sticking up in the air its really hard to use, I found out from trial and error. There is a metal bar that connects the handle bar clamp to the grip clamp and I have that positioned between my hazzard switch and my engine cut off switch.

The hardest part about it is installing the rubber gasket in the clamping ring that grabs the grip. Just use a little flat head screw driver to wiggle it into place and its not to bad. You also need to adjust the tension. If you don't have enough the cruise will vibrate loose and wont hold its speed. And if its too tight it will be a little difficult to use. Once its clamped on you will still want to be able to rotate the grip if you want to give it a little more gas.

I only use mine when I ride alone or to give my hand a little rest. I used it once following behind a friend of mine and I accidentally rode up on him prety close and had a moment when I forgot how to disengage it. So make sure to practise with it a little.
