is it possible and/or expensive to add cruise control to my 08 Sporster.Just bought my first bike ever and i dont know how i managed to ever live without a bike.I want to take long trips on my baby but cruise control would be nice.Guess its just a rookie thing i guess.anyone have any idea what it would cost to add this??

 

yeah, it's a rookie thing. the bike actually comes with "cruise" control. there is a little wing nut looking thing under the throttle that you can tighten at whatever speed you're going and it holds. loosen to go back to normal. i use it a lot when i'm on long straight roads. but imo you don't really need crusie control. do have to admit though, it would be pretty nice on a bigger bike like a street glide or something.

 

Be careful with that wing nut/throttle lock thing, just make sure you don't do this

right on man! hahaha holy smokes! don't show boat and i think you'll be alright.

 

Dude doesn't deserve a fine Harley-Davidson for pulling that stunt. Stupid for crashing a perfectly good bike for no valid reason, not to mention someone else's automobile, looked like.

And correct me if I am wrong, but aren't there people walking around all through that area?

MORON!!!

 

 

I've been using the Crampbuster on long highway runs - I'm a newbee rider- and an old bag to boot- my hand was cramping up LOL.
I just got Dr Cruise http://www.drcruise.me/ that fits on the wing nut and seems to work really well. I think there is something similar from Barefoot ******* - Throttle Tender?

 

Just bought one as well. It does the trick!

 

I decided to go the cheap route & came up with this.

 

They make universal kits that lock the throttle and yet break away when you shut the throttle or hit the front brake. Made of billet, too... nice setup.
