I have a cruise control on mine that works just like the one on my hubbies......cruise button,set speed, acclerate and declerate button. Hubbie got it and had it put on for Xmas present last year. I love it and I'm sure it helps the gas milage on trips.

Which cruise do you have? All of my riding has been fairly local, but I can tell that longer trips would definitely make some throttle-hand relief neccessary. I like the idea of a cruise like the one you described.

Hey lw,

It ain't cheap but it works excellent. I've had it for a year now. You can check it out at mccruise.com. It came from Austrailia. He shipped it here. At first my hubbie was going to install himself. Says the instructions are very well laided out but he decided since it was MY bike to let someone who has already put one on do it instead. ;)

Checked mileage performance at yesterday's fillup. I'm consistently getting 36-37 mpg and 165 miles before the low fuel light comes on. Beats the snot outta the 12-14 mpg I get from my ol' truck.

I have an 04 Nomad. I get 40-45mpg., it just depends on speed,wind, and roads. I have gotten as low as 33mpg (two-up with luggage, at 70-75mph with a 30 mph head wind thru the panhandle of OK. Jeez like to beat us to a pulp.
