mechanical cruise controls

Will mechanical cruise controls from either Throttlemeister or Kuryagan (how do you spell that?) work on a 2013 ST?

most likey but why would you want a mechanical when you have a drive by wire throttle and built in cruise??? Or am I mistaken about having a built in cruise???

I have the plain ST, not the ST-S or ST-L, no cruise control.

I've been looking as well and so far all I've found is the Vista cruise.

I had one on my GS and it worked fine.

But for the ST it's going to need some modifications and drilling which I'm unsure of.

The Throttlemeister won't work as is either. It comes with a bar end insert which it screws into. This might be adaptable to the existing plastic insert that holds the throttle return spring in place. Might be as simple as using a different bolt and discarding the insert Throttlemeister provides.

Take a look at the pictures here http://goo.gl/dVzE0 for ideas.

Thanks for the info, but the links to the forum you posted are from 2008.

You can't just discard the Throttlemeister insert. It is a machined part of the Throttlemeister assembly, and crucial to its proper function.

mechanical cruise condos are great on level roads. They don't maintain speed up or down a grade. Know from past experience with a conventional trike.

I know they aren't really a cruise control, but they let me let go of the throttle for a short time.

That's what I was afraid of.

Vista Cruise it is!

Why not just try a CrampBuster?

Been there, done that.

Can't let go completely and it can cause some unexpected changes in throttle position when you hit bumps. Works ok for people with small hands.
