I won't be fitting one.

Overly complex solution! I use an omni cruise (Google it) from the states on my tiger, works well on long motorway stints, doesn't get in the way, and easily removed. I wouldn't consider the product in the link...
Re: Bike cruise control. - brooker81 - 03-04-14
either one looks terrifying to me have visions of terrible crashes.
Re: Bike cruise control. - richfzs - 03-04-14
Why?
Re: Bike cruise control. - brooker81 - 03-04-14
id prob not take it off in time and go screaming up the back of someone
Re: Bike cruise control. - richfzs - 03-04-14
Thought so. Go read about the omni cruise. Design of the thing means that Pulling the brake lever, disengages the throttle lock. Or you just close the throttle, job done. No problem (unless you're not paying attention to the road in front of you, in which case you're pretty much stuffed anyway).
Re: Bike cruise control. - brooker81 - 04-04-14
true. any uk suppliers about or just from the US?
Re: Bike cruise control. - Fazafou - 04-04-14
Tons on ebay for the uk.

Rich ,do you think it would still work with shorty levers ?
Re: Bike cruise control. - richfzs - 04-04-14
BR, I don't see why not - it mounts at the inner end of the bar, so the fact it's a shorty lever shouldn't make any difference...
Re: Bike cruise control. - bigralphie - 04-04-14
Umm might be good for the boring motorway slogs on a tour
Cheers for the info
