Default Cruise Assist

So I let my brother take my bike to Texas last weekend and I just knew he was going to come back complaining about the p.o.s. seat I have (Badlander), or about loosing circulation to his hands from my new bars. It turns out his only complaint was not having a cruise control.

Anyone know of a good cruise control/assist? I've been looking at this new Electro-Magnetic Cruise Assist by Kuryakyn, but I don't like the grips you have to use with it. I also want one that can be shut down easily and preferably by applying the brake(s). Thanks

Whats wrong wit the friction **** below the throtle, I use it all the time on the motorway, you dont need to lock it down js tighten it a bit.

For what it's worth I had a nice billet job from Brake-away on my last bike. (metric cruiser) Setting it and unsetting it was nicer than the friction ****, but after doing some really long rides on my FXDL I have to say that I like the friction **** better because once you get it just right you can tweak your speed up/down. The brake-away unit was really nice though in that the brakes turned it off and it was really easy to set/unset. (they make them for Harley's as well)

Have a good one,
Dave
