Murph's Cruise Control-Don't do it

Murph's CCS100(the Audiovox copy) is not suitable for the Silverwing because there is not a vacuum source sufficient for high speeds(above about 65 mph). Even with 2 storage tanks my 2009 bike starts losing speed in a few minutes. At $170.00 it would be nice if it worked. After installing the unit I was determined to make it function correctly because of arthritis and I have done so. I now have a little over $300 invested in it but it worked correctly on a 4,300 mile trip running a true 75 mph most of the time.

I had to add a small vacuum pump as well as a regulator for the pump. If anyone has installed one and you want it to work badly enough as well as to save your investment, then spring for the pump(261140995850) & regulator(370780095355) both on eBay. I bought a -18"Hg pump from thinkitmakeit and the regulator from viot_hvac.

I also had to detect speed with 2 magnets epoxied to the front wheel.

Best to go for the competitive electronic model I think. I have no experience with it and can't be sure.

I usually just used one of those clamp on the hand grip thingy's , but I don't really use them as a cruise control , just to rest my throttle hand and let the feeling come back on long rides , but a real cruise control that worked would be super nice to have on a swing ...

I ordered a Go cruise throttle control. Should get any day now.

Cruise control and throttle control (go cruise) are two different things. I purchased a Go Cruise throttle control a couple of years ago and it is fine for what it is. Don' t expect to maintain speed going up and down hills, but on long flat stretches it allows you to rest your wrist and maintain speed. It's not real useful around town.
