Default Cruise control switch location

I bought an electraglide in April and so far I love it. Cruise control is great as it gives my right hand a rest. But having to reach across the gas tank to turn the cruise switch on is downright dumb. Has anyone swapped the cruise and spotlight switch positions or is it even possible???

I moved my CC switch over to the left side when I installed it. Never made sense to me to have it on the RH side.

I shut mine off when not in use as I hate the red light it turns on in the dash. I am not a small guy but its a stretch with your thumb to set it.

If it bothers you, just move it to the left side of the switch cap.

Personally, reaching an additional 6 inches or so has never bothered me.

Is that a true 6 inches or what you told you wife was 6"?

I leave my cruise on all the time. Just tap brake to disengage.
