I was just wondering about this. i saw where you cold buy a add-on to put on your throttle to allow for cruise control.

My question is does it work like a car to where when you step on the brake it releases or would you have to actually manual turn it back off?

sorry but i dont know the answer to your question but was wondering about cruise control myself.

Default cruise control

zach,, the cruise on my ride is very similar to car cruise..resume/accel/and with the new hd when you hit the rear brake it goes off, and also front brake. to get back up to speed ,like after a toll booth, just push it forward and off you go to set speed..later ryd

Cruise control systems changed radically between the days of carbs and actual throttle cables and modern EFI and throttle by wire.

Yes, this is true because with throttle by wire, you can roll the throttle back beyond the idle position to disengage the cruise control.
