I just installed mine two weekends ago. I got to use it Sunday afternoon on the way back from our ride, it is so nice to get to rest my right hand when I need it!
I use mine all the time. Even on two lanes. I will never have another bike without it. Allows me to rest my hands and pay more attention to scenery rather than dash gauges. I also have a problem with my fingers going numb so it helps that tremendously.

alot or maybe to much? I'm guilty, but damn this thing is so cool. My 62 mile comute has me on the freeway for about 45 minutes and I use it probably to much, never in town though.
It was on the priority list for my '07 SG, based on claims here that "it is the best accessory HD makes." After installing it, I can agree.
I tend to ride more country roads and twistiesso I don't use cruise control very often. I like to usecruise controlwhen I am on the highway and not in heavy traffic.

Same here. Lots of back roads and twisty mountain roads nearby I just never really thought much about using it. Next time I get on a straight highway for any length of time I will have to try it.
I am new to the Forum so I will say hi. I just went on a 1,000 mile ride this weekendIt is just nice to relax your right arm and be able to maintain your speed on an uphill and down. It is also good to keep a constant speed when riding with other riders.
