I have researched archives but can't find the exact answer to my question. I understand that a vacuum cannister is not required with the Audiovox cruise control. My question is, what is the fewest number of intake runner leads (hose & check valves) required to cause the cruise control to function properly? Seems that I recall one member posting that he only used two.
Thanks in advance

I believe "Baloo" installed his Audiovox without a vac canister.

OK, I finally found what I was looking for. It seems that if I hook hoses/check valves to at least two carbs (intakes) and then "T" them together, I should be good to go.
Now to find another place to mount the Servo other than behind the battery. I really dont want to butcher the tool box area. Mr Bubbles mentioned that he mounted his over the swing arm. Since I won't need a vac cannister, has anyone ever tried mounting the servo on top of the engine and routing the cable around in a big (multiple?) loop(s)?

Steve, one of the first members to mount one put his servo on the left side sorta under the petcock control I believe. I can't find the picture just now, but know that's what he did. Appearance was the main reason most will mount it behind the battery...as I did.

I'm assuming that this isn't an interstate. Otherwise, I'm seeing more and more installations where the actuator is up front in the fairing. I'll move mine from behind the battery in a week or so to the front location.

When I had a Tourer, I mounted it behind the ignition key, under the petcock area. Didn't look too bad ( I could have put a cover on the Ignition end to clean it up) This allowed access to the seat key and also kept it away from the dirt and moisture of the swingarm area.

I believe there is a Audiovox model that does not require any vacuum to operate.

I put my servo in the back behind the battery. The vac. res is what I mounted on the bottom of the swingarm. I think there is room to mount the servo there but it would be exsposed to all the elements. Behind the battery is the most concealled place to put it on a tourer or standard. On and I/S under the fairing is a perfect place for it.

Make your Vacuum reservoir out of PVC parts. Just get a small section of 2' pipe and two end caps. cut to length, install a vacuum port to hook up the hose, glue it up and you can figure a way to clamp it down. This system is totally impervious to moisture.
I also put a one way vacuum stop in the line to keep more vacuum in the canister for hills. put a tee in the line, the valve goes between the t and the engine, the T section goes to the servo

No need for vac cannister. Just hook up to two or more vac ports. Be sure to use a little one way valve on EACH line coming off the carb.
