RE: CRUISE INSTALL?
I haven't done it to mine, (yet), however I've heard enough talk about it on the forums here that when I decide to get the HD cruise control I will be installing it myself. Lots of help and experience here.

I know Benjys in WV at 304523-1340 sells at 20% off suggested retail. Call and ask to talk to Jenni.
$339.95 retail minus the 20% is $271.96. It can be found on page 483 of the 2007 accessories catalog.

and 400 bucks is quite high for the install.. I think this should be a standard feature on a SG...I really got spoiled to it on my 06 Ultra...

The cruise kit comes with the switches you need.

Some caveats:
1. You'll need to install three pin connectors for the switch into an existing harness on the bike, a process not described well in the instructions. Installing these is not self-explanatory, and you'll need to consult the electrical section of the manual. So make sure ahead of time you understand where they go in the harness and how to install them.
That will save lots of time and frustration.
2. The final step of the ordeal is the initialization procedure, which is also not in the instructions but clearly described in the CC section of the manual.
3. The new switch housing and original brake bracket on my bike did not want to play well together, and that took about 30 min. to reconcile. Do that step carefully by looking at how they fit together before removal, and even though I've done that job several times in the past it was a PITA this time around.
Once you have a grip on these three things the rest is fairly straightforward, and you should be able to install it in 2-3 hours.

RE: CRUISE INSTALL?
Jim, I installed mine on my 2006 Road King a few months ago. It is not rocket science but it does take some time. Follow the advise here and take your time. The help of a friend will make the job a little easier.
Where I had the most problems was getting the tiny C-clip on the FI throttle cable. Took several tries and a trip to the hardware to buy a replacement clip after I lost it in the process.
Also take you time in putting the new switches back on. Be sure to get the cables into the groves and not pinched.
Good luck and spend the saved $400 on something else.
