So it looks like the Audiovox is being discontinued, which seems to be a shame seeing as how it's a popular farkle to add on here.
I've only had my FJR for a couple months, and it's spent a majority of that time put up for the winter. I would like an electronic cruise control system for it. Here's my concern. I'm not a mechanical guy. Looking at some of the writeups on the install, I believe it's beyond my frustration limits. Not that I can't do it, but I'll reach the point of frustration far too soon with something I think should be working. Then I either end up damaging something out of frustration, or I end up with a non-functional bike from the start. Either way, it's not a good idea. On top of that, I know for certain that my garage is not equipped with the proper tools I would need.
But if I want this Audiovox, the time to get it is now. I have yet to see a decent alternative that matches function and price. And I'm not keen on the idea of a throttle lock. I want something that will disengage with the press of the brake.
Is there anyone out there that has installed it and might be willing to help? If I can get the unit, what would you charge to put it in? I can trailer the bike without much trouble, and I'm frequently making trips from east to west during Michigan winters. I figure a cruise control system will pay for itself by eliminating speeding tickets I'm bound to get without it.
Any help is appreciated.
