Don't wind him up Asif, else Steve will just look even more smug when he turns up with the heated seat on too!

Yep, the price almost put me off too; Here it costs a shade over $1000 plus fitting (a half days' work for anybody that is technically not too challenged) - Somewhat cheaper than UK prices - check out web site www.mccruise.com - but after a 900km day I thought 'never again will I not do a ride like this without a proper cruise control'. The fitting instructions and how-to guides are great, with lots of step-by-step photo's. It used to be possible to download this content before ordering, I'm not sure if that is still the case. The above-bar control unit option is what I have, since the below-bar mount will get in the way of a fully loaded tank bag at anything close to full left lock. Next time I have the fairing covers off I'll post some pics of the install. Be warned, it does consume a bit of space under the inner covers - left side has this neat little spot just in front of the glove box, and the electronics go there. On the right side is the vacuum unit and cylinder (it's a bit of PVC pipe about 200mm long with valves in it). Now under the right inside cover with my FZ1 fuseblock fitted, I have no space left there either. All the wiring is made to suit your bike - no cutting/crimping of the bike's loom required. The control unit has the typical car stuff - Set, up, down, resume, etc. Any time you pull the clutch in or tap the brakes, it disengages, and each press of the up/down of a second or so (left thumb use) changes the speed by about 2km/hour. It holds true, up and down hill; I find the only maintenance is the occasional drop of light machine oil down the cables.

On MCCruise website it says to ask for the installation manuals before purchase to see which you would want to fit.. They sent me both fitting manuals. 

I would also go for the above bar fitting.. Looks easier to operate from there.

It would probably be cheaper to buy from them and pay the import tax than to buy from the European dealer who imports them. Probably save about £50.

If it can carry more than six then I'm buying one. I usually get stuck behind that many cars on an average commute
