Hi everyone. I am currently riding a 2011 Streetbob but I am considering trading it in on a 2011 Police Street Glide FLHTP. The salesman tells me however that cruise control can not be added because it has a different wiring harness in it. I was wondering how much truth there is to that statement. As of now it's making me hesitent to move forward with buying it.

 

I seem to recall someone else saying the same thing. But this site may help. http://cruisemount.com/glides.html

You could always use the friction thingy on the throttle.

 

If I read the cruisemount site right we're talking $700+ for the kit, and $300+ for the harness and switches and that's not even installed. The initial price of $16,355 + tax and fees for a '11 with 9k miles is starting to seem like not so much of a deal. Especially when I'd have to buy a stereo and have that installed down the road as well.

I love my Dyna but the thought of a more comfortable bike when 2up, saddlebags, cruise and a radio made this bike appealing but with no radio, no cruise and a big cost to add idk if it's worth it anymore.

 

Not such a great deal when you can find bikes already equipped with a radio and cruise control.

 

Not so with the 08+ FLHP and FLHTP TBW bikes. All you need is the harness and switches and to have the Cruise enabled in your ECM by the dealer. Everything is there on the TBW bikes already except for the wires and the switches. Don't need the $700 kit. If you keep the police switches, you are looking at $375. See the bottom of this page:

Now there is some good news! And I found two more of these bikes less than 100 miles from me for $1000 less.

 

For police-bike specific info, tips, and advice, check out the Retired Police Bike forum. It is much smaller than this forum, but everyone over there has a police bike and they are very helpful.

Forget that bike cuz there's SO MANY good bikes for a great price out there with more **** and low miles
