Cruise control question

[rdbonds]

STRaider - Like you, I'll relax, shake my hand out and such, but eventually toss it back on the grip lightly, so that I'm in the neutral riding position and can cover the brake, etc if I need to. My cruise is a Rostra universal electronic cruse that I installed a couple of years ago using info from this forum and the GL1800C forum to wire it correctly. Since the Wing uses a dual cable setup (i.e. one to open and one to close the throttle) I can feel the throttle tube rocking a little as cruise adjusts, but it's not bothersome.

On my R1200GSA, I put on the same model Rostra, but it's a single cable bike, and uses a separate cruise cam in the throttle cable "bowden box", so you don't feel the cruise doing it's thing.

I'd like to take this a step further and say, I've noticed the throttle tube moving also, and, have accidentally dis-engaged the cruise by pushing to hard back/clockwise on the throttle. Not sure if it's damaging to the cruise control system so try to be sensitive to the slack in the cables.

Back when I had my Road Glide many moons ago, it had an anti-rollback switch in the return cable that would shut it off if you rolled back on the throttle like you're noting on your 2016. On that bike it was a common failure point. Most folks gave up and just unhooked that particular safety, as did I. Rostra does not have that capability that I know of (unless I fab up a custom switch assy and wire it into the brake or clutch circuit).
