I know some of you have done so. I'm about to install the cruise control in the trike(is an I/S) after removing it from the old bike and it's going to take some work. I'm curious, how did you run the servo cable to keep it from hanging up & how did you mount the servo? With the forks going from side to side all the time it seems to me it would create a binding problem.

Another ??.  I've always used a vacuum reservoir with a two line input, others have had good luck without using any reservoir. I'd like to hear how you have your cruise hooked up, if I can operate without the canister it will save some time and irritation.

I mounted my Electric Servo on my I/S under the front cowling.  Specifically, I mounted it on the left side pointing the cable to the right.  I ran the cable in a wide downward loop so that it came back along the left side of the steering column.  That allowed the cable to (after the steering column) to feed from the left side of the engine to the right side - lining up at the same location where the throttle cables connect.

Make Sense?

I use the MC Cruise with no reservoir and attached to a single intake with a check valve. That is per the MC Cruise installation instructions. No problems.  cooldude

I ended up reinstalling the CC in the trike in the same manner I had it in the old bike(Tourer). All done except for the wiring which has to wait until I complete swapping the handlebars and control wiring. I will then mount the CC control in the same location as it was on the old bike.
