Flash cruise cont. to stay on.
I wonder if there's a flash that can be done to just have the cruise control stay activated all the time instead of having to turn it on every time you start the bike?
Any info?

I understand what you want, and I suspect for safety reasons there will be no "flash" of your bike that can make it do what you want. I do not know of any vehicle on two or four wheels that the cruise control remains active after the vehicle has been shut off.
I do not want to sound judgmental, or argumentative, but, doesn't your finger have to hit the exact same cruise button to set the cruise control speed as the one that turns it on? On my bike (2014 FLHTP) the same switch turns it on and sets/resume/accelerates the cruise control. I just push the button in then touch it down to set in one motion. No real extra "work" to turn the cruise control on right before setting the speed.
What am I missing?

My Chevy Sonic does and I believe most Chevy products do. My 08 Road Glide had a rocker type switch that I left on so the cc was active each time I started the bike.

I'm amazed that those got through the legal departments at GM and H-D. Musta been out at a lawyers retreat...

Why? There are lots of safety overrides built in. Either brake, Clutch, throttle roll off. And in any of those cases you would still have to set it first? My 2012 Silverado has a switch powered on all the time (you can turn it off). My 2000 road glide had the rocker switch?

No biggie. Can't do anything about it anyway.
