In the parts book there is a cruise control listed avilable for my 04 Electra Glide. Now the wrench at the dealership says the mothership dis-continued it but you can buy all the parts and "assemble" one. The parts guy says "nope" If you have a cruise on an older bike and break somthing your screwed!

WTF!! So I guess I need to trade the bike up for somthing newer just to get cruise?

 

Check ebay. Some listers have NOS kits

 

I havent seen any on ebay. What about aftermarket? Anyone use aftermarket?

 

check cruisemount.com.
I don't know anything about them but it appears there is info there you may be interested in.
G'Luck

 

They are tough to find. Dawg was nice enuff to locate dealers with remaining inventory for for me for my BIL's SG, this was a couple months ago, there was 5 dealers showing inventory, when he called them only the last one had a kit and it was the last one they had. Good luck you your search
here is an itemized part list for the kit, some of the part number might be obsolete
