Question re. installing cruise in an I/S.

[John Schmidt]

I didn't get much response on the Tech board so thought I'd post here. First, where and how did you mount the servo when placing it in the fairing as some have done, and how did you dress the cable? The other question is re. a vacuum reservoir. I used one on the old bike('98 Tourer) but some in the past have said they didn't use a reservoir so I'm wondering how effective the cruise was. Did it hold speed good, it would hold within 2mph on the Tourer but this is going on an I/S trike which is heavier. I'd like to hear from those of you that have experience with it, mine is the Audiovox CS100.

John, I didn't install mine. It was already done when I bought the bike. But the servo is in the right, top of the fairing. With the cable going to the left, out with the other wiring and out along the neck of the bike back into the engine compartment. (Hope this makes sense)

In the end, I reinstalled it on the trike as it was in the old bike. A little more work, a bit frustrating at times due to lack of space, but it's now in place except for wiring it in. That will take place after swapping the handlebars and control wiring from the old bike to the trike. I never did like the appearance of the cable curving out from the right side of the bike but it's necessary to keep from creating to sharp a bend. I'll live with it as I did on the old bike. Such is life!

I did one on the IS back 06 same unit you did. I did all the  servo and vacuum canister under the seat. Pain in the ars in the fairing, I found it easier taking tank and air box out. You have to any way so why add more work.  I did 1.5 x 4 inch pvc canister. I left no slack in the servo chain. Route the servo line in a wide arc. Make sure you get the one way valves the right way, and yes a canister works better then not. My opinion.

Check with Trout Dude or MitchO I know that they have Cruise Controls on their bikes (I/S, Tourer, Standard).

That seems like the way to go, not a fan of the clamp type. May be a winter project.
