Default 80 MPH cruise control limit
Is there any way that I can make the cruise control on my 07 Road King engage past 80 mph ???

Mine worked just over 80mph,around 84mph. maybe it needs relashed. ? Something strang happened last time I had it set at around 85 and pushed the switch to increase. the bike started to go full throttle and at 90 shut it off. did not know what to make of that?

Since I installed my DTT system, I can set the cruise control at any speed I want. Kinda surprised me the first time it did it, I was at 110 and set the cruise control and it held.

Well, that would be indication of your speedometer display error. Now you know that when the ECU thinks it's running 80 the speedo is showing 84. That actually sounds about right, anyway. Mine shows 3 high at 60 (measured) and that translates directly to 4 high at 80 since the error is a percentage.

Why's that?

These things love to be pushed...........even at 110-120 you're only turning 4000-4500 rpms, not even pushing the rev limiter at 6200.
