CruiseControl on '09 GS
Howdy,
i was reading on here that all you needed to buy was the handlebar control for a do-it -yourself, plug and play cruise control. I was wondering if my '09 GS has the neccesary electronics on it for me to do this conversion? Or is it even possible to install on my Spyder?
i appreciate any input from those with Greater Knowledge than Myself!
Thanks,
Ryde Safely,

I also looked at electronic cruise control, back in the day was very tough too find and extremely expensive. Went with a throttle lock ( think from kuriyakin ) any way, on a long trip it is a GODSEND. just to rest the throttle hand and keep going. Not fool proof by any means but still a GREAT assist to a long run. Something you may want too consider. No electrics, or computers or anything to foul up and cause greif. Hope this helps.

When I purchased mine previous owner added a throttle lock. I don't use it constantly. Give my hand a quick break is all I use mine for.

When my wife had her 09 GS I put on an Audiovox cruise control and I put the speed sensor on the front pulley. It worked ok, but it would surge every now and then. I never did get the kinks worked out with the dip switches. We bought her a STL soon after.
