That was a factor in whether to buy a 2015 or 2016 breakout. The 2016 are drive by wire, so cruise just plugs in.

No, it mounts where the Shotgun Shock air compressor would mount on bikes without abs...
Then JD sent me his setup for ABS bikes.

I don't remr exactly what that is.. Once I did see a YouTube video for SS installation..
It shows where the SS AC would've normally mounted ..

There is no binds, or anything of the like..
The entire set up plays together perfect..

Before committing the project, I talked extensively to the switch builder in ks, the guy who built my CC, and JD of SS.. and my indie...

Everyone on same page, no hiccups atall... all's well

Sounds cool. Could you post some pics of it? I'm interested in how it's set up. When you say switch builder, I'm guessing you talking about the handlebar switch's. The ones I have are HD factory switch's. Don't remember exactly what year or model bike they were for. Thanks.

Well i could only show pics of the switches... Chrome housings with black controls.. The module is hidden... It is a brick. Harley doesn't sell switch assemblies, each component sold separate.. Then need to be assembled.. My CC builder didn't wanna do that part of it..
It seems that maybe he will now, not sure.

I have posted the switches before.... Again nothing really to see..

I gotta 04 road king with tach.. It has the CC indicator lights in it too, tho you can build the switches with lights in em... Can't really see em well in daylight acuz they are low in the pods

Maybe "cruise control" was the wrong term. I was just looking for something to hold the throttle open long enough to give the gas hand a break now and then. Not looking to spend $100, $400, $600 or a grand plus on a '93 Heritage I only paid $4,500 for. That wouldn't be very smart. Besides the only thing plug and play on this bike is the gas tank.

Easy on when you going for a long ride, easy off when you just tooling around town.
I may have to get one.

OP, seeing where you're coming from on this issue, what is your complaint about using the OEM star wheel? I've used them for tens of thousands of miles and they have always performed acceptably You do have one...yes?

I have found that some people don't know how use them properly
