RE: Cruise Control
I use my cruise control all the time. It saves from the fatigue of holding the throttle all the time and I can also keep my hands warm one at a time in the winter. If you can, add it to it and enjoy the new found freedom.
Ride On!

RE: Cruise Control
Check with your dealer as to model - although my bike is relatively new, I definitely recommend it - you can set it and relax that throttle arm and just leave the other hand very lightly on the left grip - I love the cruise.

RE: Cruise Control
I love mine and use it alot. BUT! save your money and get a Throttle Rocker or Throttle Boss 1st and see if you really need a cruise control. I use it much more then the cruise control. Try rolling the throttle and releasing the front break on a hill with it and you'll know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, on a long trip nothing beats the CC. But how many long trips do you do? I put a lot of miles on back roads. I don't suggest using the CC on twisties.
One thing I've noticed is when I ride with a few Wingers and it seems their CC doesn't hold the speed as steady as the Harley's. I'm constantly adjusting speed if I'm following one. I switch to the Throttle Boss.

RE: Cruise Control
I really love my cruise as well. You can make speed up and slow down adjustments as needed with the cruise control on as well, just like a car. It will turn off with a front or rear brake touch or throttle roll off. It's one thing Harley put a lot of thought and attention to when they designed it. Worth the money IMHO.

RE: Cruise Control
It's a must (IMO) on any touring bike, although I find myself using mine everyday to and from work. I have about 7 miles (one way) of highway to drive and I find it also saves me speeding tickets and a numb right hand. Well worth the investment.[8D]
