Electronic TRUE Cruise Control

[mikev]

There was a recent post regarding cruise controls and throttle locks for a R3. I posted that there was a TRUE electronic cruise control made for cycles but I had e-mailed them last year and they had no interest to develop one for the Rocket. I sent the company another message to see if anything has changed. They now are very interested in developing and designing a system for our Rockets. PROBLEM 1: They would like to use more than one bike on and off for about six weeks during development. PROBLEM 2: They are located in Victoria Australia, too far from Southern California for me to loan my bike. Any Captains "Down Under" willing to let them use your bike for a bit. Here is a quote from the e-mail, ""If you could get the bikes we could have a look. The actual development would take about 6 weeks elapsed time. About 1 week for initial development of brackets etc, a couple of weeks to get the brackets back from the laser cutters and then a week to install and test. Finally several weeks to develop the instructions. We would need the prototype bike for about two weeks with a week or more between.

In order to do the development we need guaranteed orders for a minimum of 20 bikes. The prototype bike would have the kit installed for free and trade price on the kit.

Please note that we have development in train for the Clubcar Carry All 294 and Polaris Ranger, K1200S BMW, Triumph Sprint and Suzuki DL100 and 650. If you are interested, the earlier you can commit to this, the quicker we can get to it."

Let me know if any Captains "Down Under" are interested in buying one of these cruise controls and if you're willing to give up your bike for a bit...

Mike, I spoke to them about September last year and offered to leave the Rocket with them after my visit to the MotoGP at Phillip Is, Vic. They told me that they would need the bike for about six weeks. When I asked about a special deal since in helping them in this way, I was going to have to spend $500 road freighting the bike back to Queensland, they kindly offered me 10% discount. I kindly declined to help. Davo

I have visited with them and the product will end up being several hundred dollars.There really isnt a need to go that route.
I just finished installing a Audio Vox electronic cruise control on my rocket.Though it took some head scratching for the first installation.It is now working perfectly.With a total cost of $100.00
Now that i have the installation figured out it would be a breeze for the rest of you.If your interested let me know and i can take some pictures and post them!

Rocket captains are always interested in that kind of stuff, Mike. Please post full story if time permits.

Yeah, Davo, I thought I'd misread the first post when it said if you gave them your bike to use for free to develop a product they can sell at a profit, you'd still have to buy one from them!
