In 2004 i found an aftermarket cruise control made by Audiovox and an online guide on how one guy installed it on his bike (forgot the model but was a four cylinder fuel injection) i have it somewhere. Then it was only about $100 bucs. i installed it with just fabrication one bracket. It got a little tough installing hte bracket, but very doable. For temporary testing iisolated my evap cannister and used it as my vacuum acccumulator. A touch of the front or rear brake, lifting clutch, or by off switch on handle bar mounted control head. (i also had to fab a bracket to mount head to left handle bar)
Its my most used add on. when i get on long strecthes of road/interstate, i set it and don't have to worry speeding tickets
i have a radar unit mounted in the nose with warning leds mounted on the dash with alarm, but you have to be careful using, make sure someone is mile ahead blasting the way. Seat heater was next best addition.
And cannot do without the luggage rack, which i had to fab myself. they should had these as an option[image: Cockpit.JPG] [image: VFR800-Rack3.JPG] [image: VFR800-Rack2.JPG]

How do you like the cruise control? I have heard about the AudioVox cc, but have heard that installation is a real pain. How well do you rate the system and how difficult / hours did it take to install correctly?

I've had the Audiovox CCX-100 on my fifth gen since '04 (Might be the post Capt G is talking of). It has worked great all these years. I mounted the control pad on the throttle side. The canister/module is under the righ rear seat plastic. I had a homemade PVC Vacuum Canister under the seat for a while then removed it and still had plenty of vacuum for operation. I just got back from a ten day European Bike Week trip to Faaker See, Austria (Ride report soon) and it quit working on way home just north of Rome. Will let you know if it is something simple to fix (I hope).

Can't make out a lot of detail, but that looks like a pretty nice luggage rack.
