Rostra regrets?

Pictures!!!

I came across this idea from another member.  The on/off switch is on the dashboard utilizing the old high/low switch from the aftermarket heated grips (switched to heat troller to control the grips)

Neat!  Looks functional, reliable, and clean.  I assume it is a  (ON)-OFF-(ON) toggle for coast/decel-X-Resume/accel?  You just use brakes to disengage (since there is no "cancel", I assume)?

Yes on the intermittent toggle.  Brake, clutch or power switch. Mostly brake.

I really like that setup- I am planning on buying this CC soon but I wasn't real excited about the control switch setup. You got me thinking about all kinds of different ideas!

I used a couple of momentary push button switches for a while and that worked well enough. One finally failed due to moisture.

Been using a stock Rostra control unit for years now successfully. Took a different approach on the last one though- rather than trying to keep the water out by sealing the unit (and not having been successful), I smeared wheel bearing grease all over the circuit board of this last one. Going on three years now with the switch not sealed at all (it literally drips water after riding in the rain) and it looks brand new inside. The pressure restive switches work perfectly through the coating of grease. Certainly not the only solution but another one to add to the choices.

My only regret was that I tried two control switches before switching to a toggle.  Toggle is a nice waterproof switch.  Zero problems with toggle and it is barely noticeable mounted in the plastic just in front of my left grip.

isn't someone working on a PnP unit?

Wish it was my idea, but I got it from another member.  I sort of like the minimalist approach.  I thought I would miss the engaged light, etc, but I don't.

BDF...with the waterproof cover and silicone around the drilled hole, so far I have been lucky-2 years so far.  
Now I will probably begin to worry about it! LOL
