Default Is it just me?
Is it just me or is the cruise control on/off switch on the wrong side (05 RG). It would seem to me that it would be better on the left side, since your using your left hand to turn it on/off.Anyone tried swapping positions with the speaker switch that is on the left side?

I agree, good idea. Shouldn't be that hard.

I feel thesame way too. I've been thinking about relocating it to the left side if the handle bar.H-D has an addional switch that can be installed next to the existing hand controls. Should be too hard to wire it to the cruise conrtol switch

I agree. Looks like it can be swapped with the speaker switch. Let us know if you try it.

I think it would feel good there, however I guess it is on the right as the right side is the power side, throttle, brakes etc.
