Hello Folks.

I bought a 2006 electra Glide last year, but I donīt have the owners manual and is dificult to get one in Mexico. The point is that i like to know how to use the cruise control, can some of you explain me a little how to use it?

I realy apreciate your comments.

Thank you.

Ok, as your moving reach down with your left thumb and push the switch forward. An amber circle will appear on the dash depending on what model tour riding. Once you reach the speed you want maintained reach down with your righr thumb and push the switch lowest on the control forward or back. The circle will turn green. If you want to adjust faster or slower the right switch works similar to a cars....push forward to go 2-3 miles faster or back for the opposite......experiment with the controls from there and dont forget to keep your eyes on the road..

You also need to make sure the switch on the faring cap it turned on.

this is from the online for my 08
A fairing cap cruise control switch located to the right of the ignition/headlamp key switch turns the cruise control system ON and OFF.
RESUME/SET switch located in the right handlebar control group.
The RESUME/SET switch controls several system functions, including set, resume, accelerate and decelerate.

Dang, this works for 2005+ only, I guess I will have to pay the $20 for a manual.
