ok heres how to put electronic cruise on your rocket. you want to start with an audivox ccs100 electronic cruise control. which can be purchased on the internet for $100 or less.
the next picture shows the compact servo unit. and the first step is to program the 7 dip switches for use on the rocket. switches 1-6 should be turned to off. and switch 7 to on. In the instructions it will also show a jumper lead that needs to be removed to tell the servo that the vehicle has a manual transmission be sure to remove this jumper lead
the next step is to mount the servo. it will mount underneath the left side cover as shown in the picture. can be mounted to one of the screws that holds the relays.
the next step is to connect the servo cable to the throttle linkage. i only found one workable way to do this. if you look underneath the front left side of the fuel tank underneath the bear claw you will see the spindle where the throttle cables hook, at the bottom of that spindle is a small clip with a washer remove that clip this is where the cable assembly will attatch with included clips. a mount will have to be fabricated coming off the front lower motor mount to secure the cable. see the next 2 pictures. in the first picture you will see the chain assembly that connects to the servo cable and how it attatches to the throttle spindle, in the second picture you will see the bracket from the motor mount to the cable. this also doubles as a mount for my aux horn.
the next thing to do is to construct a simple vacuum storage container i made mine out of 2 inch pvc pipe with caps on both ends. you will need to install two nipples to attatch vacuum lines, one line will go underneath the raised fuel tank and T in to the existing vacuum lines that you will see there. it will be necessary to install a vacuum check valve in this line between the T and the storage canaster, that can be purchased for a couple of dollars at any NAPA store. this keeps the vacuum from bleeding out of the tank after the motor is shut off.
just one note though my picture only shows one container i have since added a second one that makes for smoother operation it will be up to you to decide where to mount the second one, as i mounted mine in my side car.
next will be the mounting of the control unit itself. a small bracket will need to be made to attatch to the left hand switch assembly *see picture*
i will not go into the wireing as the directions with the unit are pretty straight forward. with the exception of where to tap in to get the tach pulse for the servo. with the gas tank in the raised position look at the very front right ignition coil, the wire that is to the out side is the one that you will tap into for this pulse, once you have followed the instrustions for the rest of the wireing diagram you should be ready to ride! if you have any questions i will be happy to help.
