Yes the dealer took off my old TP, put a new TP, and said the cruise control was still acting up. They put a stock download and said now it's working. I have thunderheaders and V/H power duals, SE Tuner, PM high flow and my bike feels like crap. I don't think it is the TP causing the cruise control issues. I think it is electronic somewhere. I contacted V/H tech support to see if there are any issues with TP and cruise control. Right now I have a stock download and stock throttle body and I am going back to the dealer to get my bike back the way it was, with the cruise control working correctly. I have 18's apes, and the wires, per their computer system, said there were no issues. Brake lights work perfectly. I heard something about over greasing with the cruise control, but not to sure. This is very frustrating.

Have you ridden a bike with cable controls before your current bike? I know there was a difference going from a 2002 V-Rod to my 09 SG.
I had my TP put on at last year's TN State HOG Rally. Everything worked great, until I started home and went to set the cruise. Nothing. I stopped and dug out my paperwork and it gave me no clue what was wrong. For the hell of it I went through the code reset instructions. Got back on the freeway and tryed again to set the cruise. It worked like it was supposed to and I have not had an issue since.

I've gotta agree with Scotracy, at least about my 08 FLHRC- no lag or any other "jumpy" TBW issues. I can't tell any difference in response from this TBW from my other bike which does have the cables. I just rode a 2012 FLHRC yesterday and that was also right on the money.
Reading around about this issue I've concluded it's either more sensitive riders than I am or a bike-to-bike issue.
