Well it dosent fully, but the version that was posted here for the bike would hold a throtle postition so down hill you would still be feeding it fuel, where as a true cruise control like fitted to trucks etc would at that be be negative throtle (ie clossed) so the engine would be holding you back a lot more than with the bike version. ok it wouldnt be enough to hold your speed (certainly not on an artic lol) but on a light car or bike it would be of a lot more effect.
though i still stand by that i wouldnt fit one, the dangers far out weigh the benifits in my mind.
