No, I mean the Harley electronic cruise control. 2016's have an electronic throttle so it's an easy add on...

I think I may skip it for now anyway though. I can always add it later on if i decide I need/want it.

Well, sometimes **** breaks. They've been doing throttle by wire on the baggers for a few years so I'm not too worried about it from a reliability standpoint.

Yeah, it replaces the switches and the lower half of the switch housing on the left side. I would then need to go to the dealer to have them activate it in the computer, but that's all there is to it.

i've been on a few trips this past year that were over 300 miles and have had no problems with cramping or thought i needed a cruise control. but it would be a nice addition.

If anyone's curious, it does fit with the Daymaker/Evo2 headlight.
