Wow there are a lot of electronic cruise control mentions in here, but noone has posted methods for getting speed.
I can't get the audiovox unit many of you use, but I can get alternatives that pickup VSS signals or have a hall effect sensor and a few magnets you mount on a drive shaft or wheel.
Now, my 12gsa has abs and like all the 12's, has a hall effect sensor in the rear drive that does double duty as abs and road speed (I think that is how i'm reading the circuit diagram).
Has anyone ever tapped an abs sensor for a pulse signal to get a cruise working?
If you try to tap an injector/spark etc lead on a 12, where did you do it?
And finally, for those of you who go bush a lot or bury the bike on water crossings, any thoughts on whether electric units are sealed (vacuum ones certainly are not) or if you could add a snorkal to a vacuum unit?
I should add here, that after pulling apart an RT and GS throttle cable splitter box, the housings appear to be identical and the only difference is that the RT has a second return line coming in on the RHS of the box, and a second quarter arc pull quadrant for the cruise actuator cable.
ie, if you want to put up with a single pull throttle cable, adding a cruise to a 12gs is a very simple affair of adding two new parts (a torsion spring and the cruise quadrant wheel).
