Default Rewiring for cruise on bars

I am going to do some custom bars on the RK and want to do all push button controls. Question is, how do I wire up the cruise to work on buttons. The on/off swith would be easyI assume but not sure on the set/ accel and the cancel/decel swithes that are on the factory controls. Any ideas. Thanks

You can use a three wire set up. You will have two leads to each button, one of which will be common between them. Really simple. When I mounted the cruise on my 99 FLHRPI, couldn't get the controller for it without buying a whole harness for 200. Used the horn/siren switch which has a sepreate lead for each side and a common connector in the middle. Worked great and now extra wires floating around.

What did you do for the set and decel switches. I know it can be done. My truck is on buttons. I just assumed that when I buy push buttons for my bars they would only have 2 leads. May be wrong though.
