Newer & Improveder! - Electronic Cruise Control
« on: September 30, 2021, 05:27:35 PM »
Back in April I bought a 95 K75.  In May I installed the Rostra 250-1223 Universal Cruise Control on it.  I'd already done one to an earlier K75 but this time I did a better job of it and took some more pictures.



I just finished updating my old web page for this so now it's better than before:

Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

Hey Duck, have you ever tried to put one of these on an R bike with the Bowden cable distributor box??

I dunno nuffin bout no R throttles.

But I Googled "Rostra R1100RT" and found this: https://www.bmwlt.com/threads/electronic-cruise-control-r1150rt.52363/

Yea, I've already seen/read that article. I'm still on the fence about it though. I've got a decent throttle lock on it at the moment that's getting me by. I guess I just got spoiled with the full cruise on the K's over the years.... 

Just thought I'd ask as I know you've worked on a lot of bike over the years.
