I am under the assumption that you would need a hand brake for this to rest on, is that correct?

I was wondering, If the new RS models are coming with electric cruise control, can i get the same installed on my 2012? :dontknow: Think I am gonna call and find out.

Only one problem.. no handbrake.

It doesn't seem like it has to rest on the handbrake. I think the hand brake is just a point of referance to know when you have pushed the clip up far enough. I checked this product out a few months back but hadn't purchaed it yet because as a inexperienced driver I don't think cruise control is necessary for me yet. The only thing the site asked was handlebar size but didn't say the clip resting on the brake had anything to do with the actual performance.

Called DDS motorsports in Utica, and they said the new electronic cruise cannot be installed on the 2012.:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Nice people up there, offered to take my 2012 in trade on a new one, but that is not going to happen
Guess I will have to keep looking for a good cruise control:gaah:

The way it works is that it has to rest on something. Without a brake lever or anything on the throttle side, this gadget will simply rotate with the throttle.

http://www.mccruise.com/ has one for it. Only problem is, it's expensive. About $900 for the kit.

It really isn't a cruise control but a throttle lock. It doesn't disengage when you touch the brake or clutch and it won't accel or slow down by itself on a incline.

Not many cruise controls...

Most are throttle locking/drag type. The expensive one require several sensors be installed to work (and can fail). Installed many on wings and repaired many. I am very happy with my palm cruise..:thumbup:

If you can contact swrafer2000 he put a cruse control on my wife's 2011 RS-SE5 and she loves it. Swrafer2000 lives in Lakeland,FL He should be able to help

Thanks for letting me know...

You are correct, thanks for saving me $20 for something that wouldn't work on a spyder(except for those of you who have added a hand brake)
