Adding cruise control
The FLHT is prewired for cruise control. How handy is cruise control? More convenient than the throttle lock? Will the cruise improve gas mileage? Any input is appreciated.

Get the cruise and forget about that throttle lock!Its pretty sweet esp the resume function.Not 100% sure about the gas mileage but i would imagine so,if its set at a cruise speed and in fifth gear.

I just ordered my Cruise Control from Benjy's for $270. Call and ask for Jenni. She's awesome. I should have it by Friday.

RE: Adding cruise control
When I rented an Ultra 3 years ago it had cruise and saved alot of fatigue on my right hand. Especially on those long interstate stretches. So I ordered cruise when I bought my EG Classic. Only it has not worked from day one. At first they thought it was a defective cable. Just intalled that, and no good. Now the tech says they are just going to replace the whole unit as they can't figure out why they can't get it to work. I sure hope they can because next Monday we're leaving for Shenandoah . I can manage without cruise if I have to, but I'd much rather have it. Makes a big difference on long rides. Deffinately worth it.

RE: Adding cruise control
previous owner of my 03 FLHTC/I had cruise added. Nothing better than getting on the super slab, setting the cruise, sliding in a good CD of traveling music, put the feet on the Hiway pegs, lean back against the back rest and eat up miles. Don't want no CB or intercom.
