Cruise install
07 flht
So i have my crusie control and read through the instructions and it doesn't sound too bad. However there were a couple of places where the instructiond say to consult the service manual. Well i don't have one yet and the dealer doesn't know when they will be in. Does anyone know exactly what you need the manual for? Is it simply some directions regarding dissembley of some of the bits to get the cruise in place. The sort of thing you can figure out as you go oooorrrrr Do you definitely need the manual to prevent major screw ups or very wrong turns in assembley

RE: Cruise install
The only thing I would have needed the manual for was to initialize the unit after being installed, but that procedure is available on this website.
Mount the box on the outside of the battery box connect to harness.
Run the cable through frame, between jugs and to flange on the throttle body - secure with eclip.
Remove handlebar switch harnesses (you'll have to remove headlamp beauty ring, headlamp etc).
Route new harnesses, connect both plugs (color and size coded, nearly impossible to screw up)
Button it up and initialize it.
Hard to screw up, just take your time.
Good luck,
J

RE: Cruise install
Before you take the switch housing loose on the right side, make sure you have a 5/32 shim between the brake lever and the housing to keep the lever from retuning into the position of rest. It messes up the stoplight switch if you don't.

J,
Do you run the cable actually between the cylinders, or over the top of the upper motor mount?
