Cruise Control

[Chevy327]

I realize I am new here but just installed my new seat (fantastic) and now I have been taking some longer, for me, rides lately.  Been riding almost every night since also Anyway it has come to my intense attention that I MUST get a cruise control on the Valk.  I had one of course on my 88 Wing and it was fantastic.  I don't expect to be able to replicate that one as far as accuracy but I must do something. I have tried to educate myself on the Audiovox model and the Rostra offering.  The MC cruise seems a little steep to me pricewise.  Does anyone on the Texas forum have any experience with either unit pros and cons? 
I am fairly handy with a wrench being a certified front end tech but his aint no old Chevy Im dealing with!!  Is there someone I could pay to help me install either unit, maybe someone who has done the install on their Valk?  Again I realize Im the new guy here, but just trying to get the bike up to where I can ride on some longer rides, hopefully with some forum guys.  Anyway, let me know if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.  As always much appreciated.

I have the audiovox model and it's been installed about 13 years with no problems. Does a good job. Could not guess where to find one since I bought mine on a closeout sale.

I've got an Audiovox unit sitting in a box.  It comes alive, but doesn't hold speed.  Usually this is a problem with the head control unit that is repairable.  Daniel Meyer knows more.

It's yours to mess with if you want and if you get it working, we'll make a deal.

I just use a throttle lock here in the flat lands.
I have to have it, my hand get numbs with out it.

The cc 100 can still be bought at Murphykit.com for about 180 dollars. I've installed about six of these units over the years only one failed but it was about 8 yrs old and 100k miles on it. They do had an all electronic unit to but I have experience with it.

I installed the rostra on my IS and it works great.  A little high tech on the install but it is clean.

[Chevy327]

Thanks for all the replies! I really appreciate it.  After research I believe I want to go with the rostra unit although I question my ability to completely install it.  So for now I'll just have to rely on the ol vista cruise!! It's better than nothing! Thanks again and Valkpilot I really appreciate your offer but I think the rostra would suit me better if I can ever get the gumption to try the install.

Chevy327,

What Valkyrie are you on?  I installed a Rostra Cruise on my 1800 and I really like it.  I also built my own switch module for it which made it even better.

I'm about 2.5 hours west of you in Abilene.  I'd be glad to give you a hand when you're getting closer to being ready.  No payment expected.
