Love my MCC - 6 months ago the transponder went hay wire and I ordered and fitted a new one with no issues since. Makes getting anywhere that bit easier  :thumb

I generally use a quick touch of my clutch lever to turn CC off on my wing. Very small movements of clutch and hand brake lever should drop CC off well before they perform any other function. Obviously there will be times when the weather makes it not ideal to  maintaining a constant speed and one needs to be far more alert but I think it maybe an over generalization to say not to use CC in the wet.


Hmmm!!! Interesting. I just finished installing the Rostra CC and while I was connecting the clutch switch noticed that it required the lever to be pulled all the way in before the switch operated. I might revisit the switch mounting again and see if it is adjustable.

The cost is justified when you consider the components. its not throttle lock we are talking about that usually slows down gradually and cannot maintain the set speed.
they are a complex bit of gear, i deal with them all the time and the development continues, now with electric servo option and other little upgrades.

anyway, they are the best around, i sell them, install them, repair them and would not be without the one on my bike. anywhere from 40kph to well over the hundred they are accurate to within 1-3klm waver, so small you dont even feel it.

look forward to seeing you all soon on the road. WOW: :grin :grin ;-*
Good morning Brian,  with the lights fitted on the ST boy do people notice the bike. Many look and look again. Thanks mate.

That's a lovely photo of you on page 2 of the local rag today GOF54  :thumbsup

While you have the bike undressed Brian(Farkleit) you may as well fit the towbar as well  ;-*

Thanks but no thanks to the towbar STimpy.
I'm a bit like pitbuul when I have something drives me.
When a local Councilor  (Alan Beard) was doing a flyer drop 2 weeks ago I got into his ear about the tar & undulations at the intersection of Birkdale Rd & Old Cleveland Rd East, just down from the Birkdale South Primary School and it only took a week but it has been fixed now.

If the local election was not upon us it probably would not have happened so quickly Bill  :fp
The towbar has been sitting in the garage for a few months....i figured Brian could fit it while he is putting the lights on(identical to your setup).
Did you need to buy a strobe module for your 3led bar lights Bill or where they already set up for it ?

No mate, Brian sourced the lights and you don't need a modulator.  All self contained and over 10 light patterns to choose from.
With regards to the intersection I had the request in with Redlands Council 2 weeks before that. I was just waiting for a reply as to wether it was State Roads responsibility or local Council.
Obviously after the call to Mr Beard it was Councils lot.
Anyway it's done now.
Was a bit unsettling on the bike in the wet.
