Cruise Control for a 09? What has been tried?

[B.D.F.]

Bingo! It is like forum ventriloquism: I can drink a glass of water while Cory posts what I would have answered! 

I think the 'kit' to use a Rostra on any specific bike would be too expensive to sell very well. And unless it was a complete kit (mechanical, electrical, everything and nicely done), it would leave a lot of people with 1/2 or 1/3 of a solution. And I know the complete kit would be too expensive.

This kind of stuff is 'semi- custom' at best and outright custom at worst and both make a horrible marketing situation, especially for a one or two person company.

Talk to BDF, but I expect that if he has not done it by now, that he has no plans to.

The wiring for the Rostra kit is actually pretty simple...other than tapping into the VSS, the clutch signal, and brake light signal, you're using the bike's accessory plugs.

I miss- read that too at first but he said- "the Rostra kit is $750 dollars or more less money", meaning the difference in cost between the Rostra and the McCruise is $750 or more.

Murph's CC (same as the Audiovox CCS100): $180 (not sure if that is complete)
Rostra CC w/ switch: around $200, depending on where you buy it and which switch you buy: $240 from Murph w/ switch
McCruise: Just under $1,000 US at the current exchange rate (Australian unit).

Being able to actually get some sleep while riding on the highway: Priceless!

I paid $240 from murphskits.com

I still have trouble putting my thoughts into words. I knew what I meant...lol.

It made perfect sense when I read it, but now...it does not.

Edit: I fixed it.

Must be INCREDIBLY flat there, then...

fairly flat but we were keeping about a 85 pace so the revs were up too

The Rostra is the best way to go IMHO. While not perfect, and requiring a little work I will say I am please with the performance. Its far and above any throttle locking mechanism.

The price of the McCruise has come down because of the exchange rate, they told me they would give us a extra 5% off and we could save on shipping if we pair up on shipping , send two units to one location, the new price is under $900. I plan on keeping this bike FOREVER
I don't want second best , or something that does not like getting wet, If you know what the weather is like in south Florida in the summertime you might understand

I bought my Mccruise from a u.s. dealer in OK: http://www.knmotorcycles.com/index.htm
Two years ago it was cheaper than buying direct from factory
