That is, indeed, sweet.  But $1000+ for a cruise control still seems very excessive :(

The one I bought is now $900.00 plus shipping, If you saw how much STUFF comes in the box...
Well lets say it is well thought out  and in talking to them to get the group buy the guy said their was not a great big markup .

I don't doubt that at $900 they are not getting rich and is probably a good deal. The compact design looks nice. The reason I went with $240 for the Rostra kit is because I knew I could. Brian had already blazed the trail and did an outstanding write up. Gave me the confidence to go for it. Otherwise I would have gone with McCruise or more likely just lived with a throttle lock.

Thank you Brian!

Aw shucks, thanks fellas....  :-[

The Rostra on the C-14 has become a community project though- lots of people have contributed various ideas and different methods so anyone doing it now has easier access to better information. But back when I installed mine, it did take a bit of time to work out the initial location, wiring and especially, the VSS tie- in 'cause that took a little bit of effort to work out the correct pulse rate as well as whether or not it would work with the stock VSS (which of course, it does).
