CCS-100 Cruise Control Servo install

[rccranger]

I'm curious if any members have found new, unobtrusive locations to install the servo unit on the CCS-100 Cruise control. I'm about to do the install on my 1998 Tourer. I have seen the locations used by Dave Sproul and (Normand in Quebec) but I'm interested to see if there are any other options other members have found. My thanks by the way to Dave and Normand for their excellent guides for installing the CCS-100.

This was touched on a couple of weeks back ....

Thanks.

I put my servo in the battery box, just had to cut out the divider to make room. Then had to cut a small notch on the left side for the cable to exit. As for a vacuum chamber, some don't even use one on their bikes. I fahshioned one much smaller than the square unit in the picture, used the same size PVC about 4-5" long, that's all that's needed at the most. Before I capped the ends I drilled it for the brass barbed fittings so I could dump the drilling debris, then glued the caps on. I used some one way valves on the vacuum lines coming off the back of the carbs, ran the hoses over to the chamber, from there a single hose to the bottom of the servo. It holds speed within a couple mph +/-, up or downhill.

Just don't make your bends in the servo cable extremely sharp or it will bind.

As John said some of us don't use a vacuum chamber at all. I have three carburetors teed together with check valves on each line. This serves the purpose very well. I've never had an issue of holding speed in any condition. The check valves are found at most auto part stores.
