Gotta have it!!
2 years ago, I got my first sled with reverse. I didn't know what I was missing. It's the best thing since sliced bread

I added cruise control to my Fat Bob. Done 20,000 miles on it, wouldn't ever be without cruise control again.

Yes, ditto and I agree.

For all the reasons previous stated by others and, as Mchad said - even when not on long hauls, I like it.

I also have a good amount of plates and screws in both wrists/forearms.

Wouldn’t want any vehicle without cruise control. And I really like the radar controlled cruise control on my Acura. Sometimes on my Ultra Limited...I forget it’s doesnt work that way.

Just got the CC activated on my 18 fat bob, it’s awesome. It was the one thing I missed on my previous bike. Should be standard on all the softails.

As should be Heated Grips. I kinda felt ripped off when I traded in my Super Tenere (that came stock with heated grips) for a $19k softail that I had to pay to have heated grips added.

That’s funny cause the triumph explorer I traded in for the fat bob had cruise control but no heated grips.
