ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL FOR BUSA'S
- Thread starter Ken02busa
- Start date
If you have ONLY LED’s for your brake lights, it will be necessary to add a SPDT relay to the circuit between the brake light switch and the cruise servo. The cruise is grounded through the brake light bulb. This ground is “broken†when the brake is applied (bulb lights) and this is what cancels the cruise. Since current will only flow one way through an LED, no ground is seen by the servo and the unit will not work. The relay will bypass the brake light, providing ground to the servo for normal operation, but will cause the ground circuit to open when the brake is applied, thereby canceling the cruise.
pipefighter...if you wanna sell your throttlemeister, send me an email at ga1990@aol.com and let me know how much you want for them, thanks!
Another member has already asked about them.
If they change their mind, I'll get with you.
Just a random pic for a member.
Everything unpacked.
I would be more than happy to pay for a Busa specific set of instructions, actually I bet a few guys would. Whats the chance of something like a cd, pointing out specific things you had to do to install it, any problems and how you bypassed them? Or, is there somewhere you can put it online and we can download, paypal, whatever?
Anyone find a good price on these lately? I have the bike half torn down to change the slave cylinder seal, would be a good time to do that as well.
I also have a black Mototeck undertail, with 96 led tail lights, 10 led signals, plate relocater, new, never installed for sale.

I just did a write up in this section of the forum.
Look for True cruise for busa.
Has some pics and install help.

I was thinking the same thing.
I'd never trust it completly.

You guys don't see a problem with attaching an electronic controlled servo to the throttle of a 175 HP motorcycle?
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.[/QUOTE]
First off, we're installing a cruise controller made for cruzzzzzzzing. Not a cruise missle controller, and what dumb azz would engage their C/C in first gear ?
Listen to what the hell you just said dude, and I mean your whole statement ! So I guess everyone that owns an electronic fuel injection car and especially the ones equiped with a cruise controller had better worry about grimlins taken over their ECU causing havoc, eh.
The audiovox cruise control has safety features built into the unit to disengage your throttle (brake,clutch, and a on and off switch ) along with the motorcycle kill switch if all fails . Just by tapping eithier one and the cruise controller servo is disengaged. No mental thought involved just your normal reaction to wanting to stop when driving, not so with a throttlemiester setup ! Your split second normal reaction isnt programed to turn your barend to the unlock position or to hit you emergency engine kill switch.
You may think so when driving under normal circumstances you could but thats not true when reacting at a split second trying to avoid unforseen trouble, atleast for the normal person . Your first reaction will be to grab a hand full of brake lever or try standing with all your weight on the rear brake lever or maybe grab the clutch, not the so called flick of the your pinky unlocking your Throttlemiester !!!
Actually I've heard that when some motorcyclist are involved in a accident their was no signs of them using thier brakes, talk about panicing.
Bottom line different strokes for different folks and we're all gonna take risk some time or another.
Peace luv and hairgrease as my boy BA would sayz !

And yes I just installed mine yesterday with positive results across the board.
It maintains a constant speed on level ground and will vary between 1 to 5 mph going up and down hills.
Not bad for $89 and was easy to install too !!

so what's the verdict here? I assume it's not waterproof? So is it gonna get screwed up the first time you wash your bike or get caught in the rain?
Just put a quick disconnect connectors on the ends of the wires to remove the control switch before washing if your concerned. Personally,to avoid getting wet while washing or riding in the rain seal the back side with silicone and mount above your speedo. This is where I mount my radar when riding and have had no issue with the outside elements.
Though I am also considering jerry riggn a cover for it, just for the extra insurance. Somthing similar to a plastic ear ring box with a flip up see through lid.
If anyone is intersted I have mine for sale in the classifieds.
