Rhino,
Could you please elaborate on the differences of the install between the 2009 and 2010 bikes? Where did you mount the unit? I am looking at the McCruise unit but the install is very complex and requires tapping into the vacuum ports and a canister, similar to the old style Audiovox unit. The McCruise unit is $1,037.00. The Rostra seems to be a bargain. Sam
There is no room under the left faring on the 2010 without cutting up the heat shields. So I mounted the Rostra under the top right faring on my 2010 and there was plenty of cable to route across the top front of the tank and down to the throttle. .... How you mount the bracket to hold the end of the actuator cable has to be a bit different due to different coolant tanks but the wiring is exactly the same.Rhino, Mal, do either of you have any install pictures that you could share with us? Please?
Under the top right fairing..... is this where some have mounted their Stebel Nautilus horns...where it appears a second glove box could have been installed..or is it lower and farther back?
Rhino, do you have any install pictures that you could share with us? Please?
It's somewhat disappointing that I will not be able to use the instructions from Murphs on my 2010.
Cool, Rhino thank you very much! I'm very glad that I noticed your post. I have a Rostra from Murph's sitting in it's box in the garage, I sure would have been ticked to
self discover that I didn't really have step by step instructions at hand like I thought I did. Now at least I'll have the right mind-set when I get around to the install.
Thanks again, and feel free to remember anything else that might be useful. Heck, I'll even take the recipe for the green chile enchiladas if it's offered.
It just seems that it would be easier to use the control buttons near the left grip (while the right hand maintains the throttle), but I noticed that most use the location near the right grip. How did you do it?
