Electronic Cruise Control

I just bought a used 2010 FLHTC. I want to install ECC and have a couple questions. The bike has TBW, so I'm thinking it should be a simple job. The dealer wants $180 to do the install but I would rather do it myself. Has anyone else done this install? And is there anything special I need to do? I do have a manual that I bought from the dealer. Any help would be appreciated.

The dealer has to reflash the computer even if you do the install so you'd probably only be saving 1/2 that amount if you do it youself.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought too. I just like working on my own bike because I get to know my bike better. But I'll probably take it to the dealer this time. Thanks again.

Yup - if you're in good with the dealer they should take care of you. Of course you could always have them do it while doing something else. Negotiate up front.

I installed CC and adapted the angle of the handlebars at the same time.
The 'Cruise' button on the console didn't fit as well as it should and the wiring changes were very easy. I paid a few $ for a 3 minutes ECU flash and this was not done at the dealership where I bought the bike; I discovered they don't need our record...
I used the flattened copper tube trick to align the ignition switch and fork lock. The first time is considered a training, the next iteration should take less than one hour including paperwork.
