cruise control on touring ?

I am thinking of buying a cruise control unit for my bike , anyone that has it, do you like it ? does it hold speed properly ? install problems ? does it shut off when brake is applied ?

Yes, Yes, No, Yes (Front/Rear and Clutch all deactivate it)

Get it! You won't be disappointed. One of the best upgrades you can buy.

My 03' RKC came with cruise factory installed. One of the top 5 reasons I chose to buy this bike. Love it, Love it, Love it!!! Use is on and off all the time. It is priceless on long rides....10+ hour days.

Get it and Get it now!!! You will no regret it.

RE: cruise control on touring ?

Came stock on my '05 RK Classic. If you do long rides, it is THE BEST feature - bar none. It holds speed like no other cruise control on any vehicle I've ever owned. It has the accell and decel features as well as resume just like a car does. It's one of the reasons I went with the Classic over the standard RK. I had it on my last bike and swore I would never do without. it's kinda like A/C in a car. REmember when your first few cars maybe didn't have A/C? And then you got one with A/C and swore you'd have A/C on every other rig you bought for the rest of your life? Well, for me, that's what this is all about.

When I go, I go.... I go for 5K to 7K trips....... if you do long trips you probably appreciate the CC. If you run around town most of the time, then I doubt it's the best feature of the bike.

Get it! You won't regret it. Works just like cruise in a car. Maintains speed up and down hills, has resume, can adjust speed incrementally with your right thumb. You really appreciate it on those all day interstate rides.
