RE: Cruise Control, or how I spend Christmas Day
I have to wonder, if the Cruise control will work on a Softail? Heck, its the same engine. What is different that would prevent this working?

Trail: The touring models come with the wiring to plug into the HD cruise control module; softail bikes don't have the wiring. If you want to install a HD cruise control unit on your softail, contact Dave, the owner, of Cruisemount and he can supply the necessary wiring:

xfasteddiex: The cable lash initialization is part of the installation for all of the pre-'08 touring models and there is no need to take it to the dealer to have it done. It is explained in the HD Service Manual's section on Cruise Control.

i find i use my cruise more often when i ride with less people. the more riders there are, the greater the speed differences.

I'm with Peekaboo...now I'm ambidexterous! Seriously, the best addition I've made to my EG Classic, and it was a great learning experience to do the install myself(with help from the many contributors to this great Forum). Guarantee you'll love it.

I dn't have cruise. I will use the thumb lock, but not often. Can cruise even be installed on a bike that has a carb? I think that I read somewhere where it couldn't be done... but what the hell do I know.
