Cruise control problems

[jnt]

Have Audiovox ccs-100 installed. Has been working fine up till today, when it began shutting itself off (light on control goes out). Will turn back on using the switch, then may or may not engage, then turn off again. Time in operation is getting shorter.

Any and all ideas appreciated. Audiovox site is no help.

Thanks in advance . . . . :'(

Where do i find a electronic cruise control? Is yours the only one out? Hope you get it working properly.

<< hijack alert >> The Audiovox automotive unit mentioned above has been modified and installed on a number of bikes. I'm familiar with Honda ST1300 and VTX1800s. Google the cruise make and model and you'll find plenty available ... on eBay... for $100 or less. Typically, small mods are required... brackets and the like. You can run it without a vacuum reserve (some have) or you can build your own mini-vacuum tank out of 2" PVC pipe for very little cost.

I have a Goldwing with factory cruise. I will use a throttle lock on the Roadster as it fits my needs... an occasional rest... not extended driving without both hands on the bars.

Re: Cruise control problems - update

Problem solved (I think) - apparent loose connection in harness.

re: 'hijack' - correct. Our use is not so much to ride one-handed, but for hand/wrist fatigue abatement.

Looking for feedback....
How do you like your Audiovox speed control? Does it maintain one speed on hills?
I have arthiritis and I'm exploring my options to make travel easier.
Do you have any pointers for install on the Spyder that you would be willing to share?

Thanks!

Mine works great. Holds speed very well.

For those looking for a non-mechanical solution there's this- http://www.rostra.com/automotive-consumer.htm

I was going to put one on my Strom but I killed it before I got the chance.

Here's where I got the idea- http://11109.rapidforum.com/topic=109771175854

And here's the post install thread- http://11109.rapidforum.com/topic=109768999276

I have no idea if it'll work on a Spyder though, since I don't have one yet.
