I'm the new owner of a 2006 FLHRSI and it wasn't equipped with factory cruise. I checked a dealer yesterday and found a kit used to be sold for $250 but has been discontinued. What are my options besides spending a grand on a piece meal kit? Thanks in advance!

 

There's companies out there that make kits-I don't remember brand names now,but look on ebay,or google it. $200-$300 will get it done.

 

Rostra is one brand. I just did a search,and found the $250 kit at HarleyDavidson.com Maybe it's not available any more-I don't know.

 

The HD kit is no longer available according to HD dealers. Cruise mate makes a kit, seemingly from used and or NOS parts, and retails them at over $800. I'm hoping someone knows if the newer kits from HD work or can easily be made to work or if there are other affordable options.

 

I'm in the same boat looking for a cruise control for my '05 FLHRSI. Did you find one or does anyone have any recommendations for finding one?

 

Did a search for one of my friends and all I came up with is this place.

Didn't order yet cause it's kind of pricey.

 

I found this one today, but it is also very expensive.

Neither here nor there, but 250 sounds pretty light for the cruise-kit (new) to fit an 06. The cruise module itself retailed for around $300. But since the main module is obsolete and no longer made, and you can't buy a kit (incorporating a module) from HD any longer, kit cost from the dealer is a moot point. Talking about prices just to put it into some perspective. (I think the kit price from a dealer was a little shy of 400 bucks, back when it was available).

In 2008 Harley changed the way they implemented the cruise control. So from 08 on, it's a wholly different setup than what the pre-08 bikes require. 07 was like the earlier bikes, but had a different plug, or two. I'm reasonably sure you can't adapt an 08+ cruise setup to a pre-08 touring bike.

Cruisemount sold kits as stated earlier. Don't know what they have left, but the kits are definitely not one-size-fits-all. Check close to make sure you're getting what you need, year/model wise.

I sold a new cruise-control module for a 2004 Road King (when I sold the bike) for $225. I bought it when the modules went obsolete. You can look around, on eBay for example, and try to score a NOS or a used module. Then you'll need the handle-bar switches and their wires, and a cable to connect the servo-module to the throttle-body. There's a procedure in the Service Manual, with another procedure (not included in the manual) floating around on the Internet, you can use to setup the cruise once it's installed, e.g., you have to take the slack out of the control cable. If you're patient, and beat the bushes, you can piece-meal it for a lot less than a grand I'll bet. The module will probably be the most expensive single part.

Advice: Worth what you're paying for it. But if it was me, I'd spend whatever Cruisemount wants for a kit to fit my bike, and call it a day. That way you'll have what you need, now. Cruise-control is too cool to be without. Tip: If you end up getting cruise, get a spare module when your wallet allows it again. They are getting harder to find, and it's not unheard of for them to fail.

Hopefully some of this information is helpful.
