08/09 cruise control - how does it suit you?
#13
My buddy rides a Nomad, and he has only a throttle lock on his. He insists that my cruise control varies 2-3 mph going up or down hills. I tell him he is all wet, that the cruise varies about 1 mph maximum when the load changes.
My speedo is 2 mph fast at 50-70 according to roadside radar setups.

I have an 08 EGS with cruise. No charge install by the dealer because I bought the bike with it and ABS and the cruise unit came in later. Dealer installed at the 1,000 mile service. Don't use mine that much(have not been on many long rides)but when I do it works perfectly. Pretty flat where I live so don't have many hills except for highway overpasses. It throttles up to hold the speed over those and down on the backside.

well, labor day traffic was pretty heavy coming out of the Blue Ridge Parkway and heading towards the beach, so maybe we were both fiddling with it too much in traffic. wasn't any riding with just me & him clear of traffic.
we may run to Myrtle beach this weekend, try again in less traffic.
