I think you'd still be able to work a bike throttle with finger and thumb action. A thumb throttle could be set up but might not have fine enough control. I have a neighbor who has a fused wrist, layed a tile floor in my house with me helping but I didn't notice his wrist action until a couple days into the job. It didn't affect him much. His wrist was shattered when working on a fire truck engine when someone shut the hood while he had his hand in the engine compartment back near the hinge. One thing that will help is the Goldwing's cruise control. It should be possible to reverse the throttle and clutch so you had a throttle and brake on the left with the clutch on the right. The brake and clutch shouldn't be hard to reverse mainly it's just the hoses and rewiring the switches. With a bit of ingenuity the throttle should be doable. After that it would just be the matter of getting used to it. A bit of practice should handle that. It wouldn't matter too much which switches were on which side.
One othe possibility I can see would be using a throttle boss which should give a pretty good range of motion using your fingers and the heel of your hand.
