ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL FOR BUSA'S

[Ken02busa]

I have been looking for one for a year now, have seen the one at www.mccruise.com in Australia, which is WAY too expensive at 575 USD+ sh + tax. I have heard there is a 100.00 unit out this winter, havent seen it yet.
Has anyone seen or heard of one?

Here is a link to an install, however the pictures are missing.


Okie VFR had on on his busa. I saw some of the parts he used after it was totaled. Looks like a neat setup. KS Waterbug might still have pictures.

Me too! I Dont want to chuck my Brass bar ends to use a Throttlemeister. I tried NEP and Vista and couldnt get them to fly.

I've been looking and debating for a few months now on the audiovox.
I am close to jumping in.

If I could talk to someone that had actually dont a busa, annd maybe had a pic or 2 I would be all over it too. 89.95, diyamn.

I am very interested in doing this mod. I went to Audivox web site and saw they had an electronic version, no vacum required, looks like it would use less space.

 

[Ken02busa]

got the url?

 

[Mgyver]

Go to audiovox.com. Then goto find a product and then to cruise controls. There are two universal vacum controls and then an electronic control.

So has anyone actually installed one of these?

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

This install looks to be very straight forward...

 

[Ken02busa]

I heard a couple horror stories already, am thinking the electronic one may be the way to go

 

[ranman]

anybody have a pics on a busa??

You guys don't see a problem with attaching an electronic controlled servo to the throttle of a 175 HP motorcycle?
One little glitch, especially in 1st gear will put you on your ass in the blink of an eye.
Alarms get flaky in certain situations, gauges have flaked out after installing HID lights in a Busa...or hell, I can just drop my Nextel phone next to anything electronic while it searches for a new tower and all kinds of neat things happen like my alarm clock on the nightstand resetting or the famous POP POP POP from speakers while the monitor or TV screen jiggles.

Too much risk imo. Throttlemeister may be way over priced for something so simplictic but it's reasonably safe and won't give any surprises.

Here is the only pic that I want to post on my install.
Let's just say that I am p'od that it was a failure, but after about 10 hours installing, fine tuning, making sure everything was right, then another 5 hours trying to problem solve.
I ended up jerking it off the bike and decided to just take a lose on it.
Just could not get the danged thing to work.

 

[Pipefighter248]

So has anyone actually installed one of these?

Yes, I have read of two people that have installed on the Busa.
One worked perfect and the other had some troubles.
Myself, I just ended up chucking it.
