you might look into Kuryakyn's new aftermarket Cruise Control (p/n 6280). Sells for around $200 (less on some reseller sites). Here's a link...

I was just funnin with you - I agree it would be pretty cool, but not much good here in the UK, or on a SB as I'd need to stop for gas before I'd got the benefit!

I've used the throttle lock.&nbsp\\; I admit it doesn't accelerate or decelerate, but I found it very adequate on the freeway.&nbsp\\; Is the cruise worth it over the thumb activated throttle lock?

Yes the cruise control is nice if you have it, it's better to have and not need than to need and not have is my thoughts on cruise control, I do use it quite often.

I've only had my Ultra two days, and it's the first bike I've owned in 20 years that comes with it.&nbsp\\; Best option I've ever had on a bike, save for the&nbsp\\;petite blonde French stripper passenger option (available only in Eastern Canada).
