Just Installed and Tested Rostra Cruise

[maxtog]

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this mod.  I had one on my C-14, which I sold, and loved it.  I took it off the bike and I've been trying to sell it, with minimal interest, including a couple of listings on ebay.

I would probably have bought it already if someone offered a decent control panel/switch/control system for it.  For now, I am still thinking about it.  It isn't quite plug-and-play enough, and the controller is far from ideal from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint.

That's my biggest reservation.  The thumb control on the Beemer was extremely easy to use and didn't require you to look at the controller or feel around for the right buttons to push.  People that have the Rostra on the C14 seem to be happy with them so I guess it works okay.

Hello all,  I'm a new member to this forum and just parked a 2008 Concours in the garage - in show room condition 9100 miles. Since I'm 63 my wife just smiled and fixed dinner!
I read " 4cedars"  thread on his installation of the Rostra cruise unit and he referred to: Brian (BDF) for the initial install directions. Can anyone
lead me to those directions. I have done alot of "stuff" with motorcycles since my first at 17.   Thanks for your help

Someone already posted the address of the instructions at Murph's so you should be all set. Just watch the instructions themselves- I know the guy who wrote them and he has his good days..... and not so good days. You should see the kitchen..... he went in to replace a light bulb and now there is no floor, no ceiling and the walls are not long for this world......

Best of luck with your cruise control installation.
