Brakeaway Cruise Control
We recently purchased a Brakeaway Cruise Control for one of our motorcycles that did not have an option for electronic cruise. As this was for a Harley we purchased model 7CP06 and with the help of a friend we were able to install it using the instructions that came in the packaging.
While we were able to do the install ourselves we did rely on a good friend of ours who actually rebuilds motorcycles to help out. On a Harley, this is not a quick install and it is recommended that you make sure you have all the necessary tools before starting. All in all we had it installed, adjusted, and fully tested in under 3 hours. Could it be done quicker? Absolutely but hey sometimes you just need to catch up with your friends so you take your time.
The Brakeaway Cruise Control not only works well, but looks natural once you have it installed. It also has the added benefit of disengaging when you compress the hand break. While you can adjust your throttle while it is engaged and can release it with the press of a button it is really nice not to have to remember to disengage it when breaking quickly. The brake release is the exact reason we decided on the Brakeaway and not a basic throttle lock.
This particular cruise control fits most 1996 and newer Harley Davidson Motorcycles with throttle cables
- Attaches to the grip between the grip and the switch housing. Fits all Harley Davidson cable type grips.
- Will NOT work with Fly by Wire
- All Harley installations MUST have clear access to the bottom of the brake pivot pin. Some turn signal mounts cover the pin, these will have to be re-located to mount this product.
Brakeaway offers cruise controls for Harley-Davidson, Honda, Indian, Yamaha, Triumph, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Victory.
Cruising down the highway on your motorcycle will be much more enjoyable when you have a cruise control to maintain a steady speed and not have to worry about the throttle every second of the ride. If you are looking for an after market cruise control solution for your motorcycle and you want something that looks integrated with the factory controls and has convenience and safety built in then this is what you are looking for.
