Great job, and good info. I installed this same unit on my Rune, and am really pleased with it.
Curious why you set the "engine/set up" at 4 cylinder instead of 6.
What is the minimum speed you can set with the pulses/mile setting at 19,300 ?
Thanks.

When I started this project, there wasn't any information available for installing a cruise control on the F6B. I had installed an Audiovox unit on an ST1300 and the Rostra unit on a couple of Street Rods, so I had somewhat of an idea as to what was ahead of me. Even though I was familiar with the cruise control units and confident that it could be made to work, I knew from the beginning that this was going to be an experiment that might not work out.

I arrived at the settings primarily by experimenting with different settings. The 6 cylinder setting made the bike surge once the cruise was engauged. So, I set it 4 cylinder, low which eliminated the surging while the cruise was set. My after further testing, I settled on the following settings;

Gain: Very Low
Pulses/mile: 19,300
Engine/ Set up: 4 cylinder Low
VSS: Square Wave
Transmission: Manual
Control Switch: Open

I'm not sure of the actual "minimum" speed that the unit will set at. I've set it at 30 mph, but never tried it below that speed.

Thanks Barry, that info will help me fine tune mine.
