CRUISE CONTROL

[Joesmoe]

@Gregger it would be great if you post here as soon as you see that, so others may think about if that is enough to put them over the edge to purchase.

Thank you.

McCruise usually has a discount price on the kits for a couple of weeks in March (anniversary sale). I think it was for 10% off last year. Watching for it this year since I can't ride until April anyway.

I definitely DID NOT need to know that... :-/

My wallet just groaned in anticipation.

... quietly walks away and adds another thing to the To Buy list..... I love this bike but it should have come with some kind of consumer warning about financial risks... fun though!

Mine was on my 09 T when I bought it and it works great.

Will do Paul.

That goes for any others monitoring the McCruise site.

The bike is the down payment for the accessories.

I retrofitted a Rostra kit not the easiest but it works well. - I would prefer the McCruise tho

Ayep, @Mickey11 the search function isn't the best, though it can be useful. Do a search on mccruise, and find a fair amount written.

The units are pricey. For those of us who have them, they are worth every penny.

The unit comes as kit -- shipped so quickly one wonders how that is even possible.

Their instructions are voluminous, and based on an actual installation richly populated with photos.

And as @EM549 said, they fully stand behind their product, and when you call, you are talking to the president -- not some know-nothing phone support in India or the Philippines.

I've installed them on two bikes, and when I get around to it, will be installing one on a third.

On the Rocket, the cruise control shines, thanks to the Rocket's ample torque in 5th gear cruising seems effortless, and being able to easily switch hands is priceless.

Thank you for the nod @Jag

Thanks for info. Emailed them yesterday . I've been looking for a tuner and found one . Also talked to some exhaust guys. One of them mentioned using a bear claw with K&N filters. Is the bear claw a different type of air box ? Where can I see these things. Mickey11

 

[Joesmoe]

Plenty of photos and descriptions of of different filters. Just search.

Our bikes come stock with the "bear claw" - a metal cover for the unpleasing plastic plenum that connects the underseat air snorkel, to the underseat air filter box and connecting plumbing to the throttle bodies on the left side of the engine.

All that plumbing, while it certainly works, is convoluted, and makes working on the bike that much more onerous.

So many folks over the years have been motivated to find any way to remove all that -- that creativity and diversity is what patient searching of this site will uncover. Don't try to do it in thirty seconds and get frustrated. Give it several hours spread over days, and take notes as you go. See something interesting ? Ask questions. Many folks are no longer with us -- though the folks who are here represent bridges to almost all.

Good hunting. A big part of the fun of owning one of these bikes is the dreaming that it supports about all the possibilities.
