Motorcycle Cruise Controls

I purchased this for a Rocket III Touring. I installed it in about three hours taking my time to make sure I did it right. There are a couple of minor items that could be improved for fit and finish, but overall it seems to be a solid package. Throttle action remains unchanged from factory and the unit worked correctly first go. There wasn't much tweaking necessary after adjusting per the manual during install.

One concern I had before purchase was the looks. It actually looks more factory than I had thought it would. The switch is separated from the controls, but the spacing works well and doesn't look "add on". The rest of the unit is well concealed barring a few short wiring areas that needed black electrical tape. I also had to add a small rubber piece to the left brake mount as the metal bracket made it too lose to stay put. This might be a thought for inclusion in the package.

I would definitely purchase from mccruise.com again. Time will tell how well it holds up, but the build quality seems good.

Dear Frank and Tony,

As I emailed you last week, you shipped my cruise package to me on the the 19th, and it arrived here just two days later, on Friday the 21st… which I thought was amazing!

While you're now into Fall, we’re working our way through Spring… although our five-year drought is very OVER and all it has been doing here is RAINING!

Anyway, this gave me time to jump into my cruise installation, using a Super Tenere switch block which I’d already bought through Yamaha.

Conclusion: More complicated than I’d imagined, but a WONDERFUL kit and excellent installation instructions. Everything went just fine, system passed all of its tests first try, and just an hour ago I went out for my test drive… and it works GREAT!

Thank You! Those blanked out buttons on my FJ-09 switch block were just deriving me nuts. It will be great having cruise, even I don’t use it all that often...

Cheers, and many thanks again!

Recently fitted McCruise cruise control to my 2015 Black VFR800 which turned a fabulous bike into perfection. I found Tony and Frank at McCruise most helpful and the fitting instructions were thorough and easy to follow with unlimited support from them.
The McCruise is so easy to operate and looks factory fitted, located below the switches on the left bar. I highly recommend McCruise for any Motorcycle.

Hi Tony, I purchased the MCCruise and planned to get my local bike mechanic to fit it to my 2006 Honda ST1300 Pan European during last Winter however having looked at the comprehensive instructions I decided to have a go at fitting it myself. The detail provided allowed me to easily install the product and commission it conjunction with the setup instruction provided. It has worked perfectly well over our recent 500 mile trip around the North Coast of Scotland (NC500 route) and I would certainly recommend your product to anyone wishing to install a quality, reliable and safe form of motorcycle cruise control. Excellent product. Many thanks, Brian, Glasgow, West Scotland

To Tony, Frank and Steve

Firstly I would like to thank you all for an absolutely brilliant service. From the moment we first spoke to dealing with Steve last week was fantastic

Thank you for a fantastic product. Brilliantly labeled and relatively easy to follow. The way it was all packaged for installation made the job infinitely easier than it could have been.

Whilst I don't have the skills to install it my mate is an ag technician and he couldn't believe how well this product was put together

Product is installed and running very well

I will post the unused cables back on Monday to put back into stock

Thank you once again

Regards and best wishes

I started looking for aftermarket motorcycle cruise controls after renting a 2014 Harley Davidson Road King with a factory cruise. I have a 2004 Honda Interceptor and love riding it, but always wished it had an electronic cruise control; throttle locks and other gimmicks don't really work that well, and in some cases are dangerous.

I found MCC on the internet, and after a little research, I decided to buy one. There were no installers in my area (Central Illinois, USA.) I decided to install it myself. The instillation was some what difficult for me, but the included instructions were very detailed. I had a problem with the Cable Interface Unit, and e-mailed MCC. They made arrangements to call me and figured out that I installed the CIU incorrectly. They walked me through the installation on the phone. Talk about customer service! They called from Australia, at a time that was convenient for me.

Now, a year later the cruise works perfectly. It holds my commanded speed within 1-2 mph going up and down hills. If I ride for hours with the cruise engaged I usually get 3-5 mpg better than average. Best of all, I don't really need to worry about getting a speeding ticket if I have a momentary lapse in attention (very easy to do on a sport bike). It works just as well as the factory installed HD cruise and just as well as the cruise in my cars. I wish I would have installed the cruise as soon as I bought my bike in 2005. I never want to get rid of my Honda, but if I ever buy a new bike, I'll be sure to buy a MCC.

The instillation took me about 8-10 hours (much of this time was fixing what I screwed up.) If you have a decent set of tools and a mediocre level of mechanical knowledge you should be able to do it yourself. Up to this point the most difficult task I've ever accomplished on my bike was an oil change. If you have any problems with the instillation, Tony and the rest of the folks at MCC are only an e-mail and a phone call away. If you are looking for a motorcycle cruise control, this is the BEST and only option....BUY IT!

Hi,

I got the McCruise before Christmas and installed it during Christmas holidays to my Honda CRF 1000 L Africa Twin. I found the uninstalling fairings, tank and airbox almost more time consuming, than the McCruise installation itself. It took me about 6-8 hours total. I did it one-two hours per day for three-four days.

The installation instructions were detailed and good enough for problem free installation. If something could be better, you could get Honda Workshop manual and add the tightening torques of certain bolts and screws. I also found it little bit confusing, since the installation instructions are divided in two, one general and one for specific bike model. Hence, third troubleshooting instruction and fourth user manual. But all in all, everything you need, is there, exept tightening torques.

The first impression of the quality is very good. Good ergonomics of control panel. Instant and smooth engage, instant but smooth cancel by brakes, clutch or cancel-button. Instant and smooth reset, smooth return to the engaged speed after overtaking. No surging, over-/undershooting when reset or overtaking. At 80 km/h it kept the speed within +-1 km/h on very windy weather.

Summary: expensive, but really worth its price if it lasts.

Thank you,

Hello Frank,

I just wanted to drop you a note regarding the cruise control for my Yamaha FJ-09.
I was able to get out and test it today as the temperature has warmed up a bit, and the snow is almost gone here in Wisconsin USA.
The cruise worked flawlessly in the short test run I did.
I want to commend you and your team for the fine installation instructions, they are brilliant!
I followed them step by step and it was a very easy install. The pictures and arrows are very helpful. The setup and test instructions are also brilliant, everything went off without a hitch.
I believe you have a very good product and will be recommending you to anyone that is considering adding cruise to their bike.
Please pass this along to your team, they are doing an outstanding job.

Thank You,

Mark

PS,
Shipping/delivery was also very good. (considering we are on opposite sides of the planet)

Hi Tony,
Thank you so much for your help. I've heard that your customer service was excellent, but you go above and beyond (especially considering that I didn't even buy the unit)!
I do feel a little dumb. I checked the ground post on the battery before, and saw two additional leads. One was the battery tender, and I assumed the other was the cruise. Well, I checked again last night, and found a 4th ground lead hiding under the plastics! I don't know what the other goes to, so I'll have to do some detective work there. The important thing is, that fixed the issue. I was able to test the cruise on my way to work this morning, and it works splendidly. I do need to adjust the speed sensor, since it does not work below 70mph at the moment, but it works! (MCCruise will follow up on this issue)
Thank you again for the help and the fantastic customer service. I will definitely be adding an MC Cruise to my next bike!
Sincerely,

Hi Tony,

I started forum jumping in September of last year after a 5000km trip on my FJ09. I was looking for a better alternative to a $30 "throttle lock" and the FJ09.org forum had you on there. I had noticed a few other people had your product and had amazing things to say about it. I also saw that one of the forum mods/owners was trying to sell an inferior product and ended up "banning" your account.

I researched their product and no thanks, that was not an option for me.

I kept coming back to your website and seeing the brochure and the options that were provided for the FJ09. You have the better product from research, and that is why I chose your product.

Thanks again for the help in getting my refund. (the kids interrupted me ordering and I hit F5 and bingo - ordered TWICE)

Ill send you a photo/ video after install and I will be sure to tell EVERYONE where I bought the cruise control from!

Hi Tony,

Just to let you know, the customer picked up his bike (BMW) last Saturday working perfectly again.

In the end it was one of the 6 magnets that was orientated wrong. The owner told us, that a while back, one of the magnets came off while washing the bike…

So thanks again for your help, outstanding customer service and fast replies!

Well, surprise, surprise! Got the bike back together and, fingers crossed, started it up. Everything worked perfectly! Couple of minor adjustments on the servo and took it out for a road test. Fantastic! After all these years I have a cruise control that works flawlessly.

Congrats on a GREAT product!!

Hey Guys
I got your unit installed today and took my bike out for a ride, I LOVE IT!! Your Cruise Control is a total game changer for future long distance rides. I was super impressed with the quality of your wiring harnesses and your ingenuity in implementing them into the existing bikes wiring. Very well done!

Thank you, Brian

I purchased and installed the MC Cruise Control on my Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird a couple of months back and have finally finished tidying up and getting the bike all back together ready to test the unit out on the road... The install went smoothly and without problems and operated perfectly thanks to the extensive instructions provided with the unit and Frank was never to busy to take a call with any questions I had...
This is without doubt a great choice... Impressed to say the least.. Exceeded my exceptions by a long way !!! Cheers

I installed this CC on my F6B 18 months ago, and it has worked flawlessly since, some of the best install instructions I have ever run across, and believe when I say that in 50+ years of riding I have installed just about every thing there is. As a long distance rider that puts an average of 20,000 miles a year on this has been a real wrist saver!! Thanks for an awesome product.!!

Installed this a few years ago on my '97 BMW K1100LT and have enjoyed touring with the cruise ever since. The installation was pretty straight-forward and I don't remember having to cut a single wire! The bracket to mount the servo canister is a chromed work of art and the interface between the stock throttle cable and the cruise is very simple but well engineered. 3 years ago, I actually tried to install a $160 car cruise control on my bike and finally gave up, removed it and threw it away! Then I decided to spend the money and get a real motorcycle cruise control. Boy, am I glad I did! I highly recommend this company and their products!

Hi Tony

I've now fitted the MC Cruise to my 2016 MT-09 Tracer. The install went smoothly with no problems, and operateled perfectly fist-time.

Your kit is excellent, as are the instructions. I just worked slowly through all of the stages making sure cables and components were carefully positioned. All cable lengths were perfect, and the connections were made without too many challenges - other than working in some tight spots!

Thank you for an excellent, quality product. I'm looking forward to using it out on the road.

We have a Boom Mustang Thunderbird trike fitted with one of MCC's cruise controls. It's by far the best, most accurate and easy to use controller we've ever experienced. Not only that, but after a recall fitting of a kill-switch which affected the performance of the cruise control whilst we were on a road trip, the guys at MCC made themselves available at short notice to liaise with the Boom importer on ur behalf and reset the cruise again. We were in Melbourne from our home in Brisbane and we knew they were busy but still took time to help us out and also show us what to do ourselves should resetting need to be done again. Fantastic product and incomparable service. Such a relief to know this product has the backing of good people who aren't just into selling their product and then walking away from any challenges. Well done and thank you. Chrissy McDonnell, Brisbane Trike Tours.

Hi Tony / Frank
I have just completed the installation on my FJR1300 2006.
When I first looked at your instructions I thought the install was too complicated for me to do, but after sitting and reading them and realizing that if I took each section at a time and followed them as they were laid out it could be possible.
And so I began , following you instructions by the letter and having plenty of breaks it all came together with no problems at all.
The test ride went perfectly you had preconfigured the computer to suit my bike and the result was great. I found that the throttle was a little stiffer than before and spoke to Frank about this who said that it should get better after it settles in . Which it did.
Thank you for your service and your product I now feel that I can now ride well beyond my 77 years .
I would recommend your cruise control to anybody especially riders that want to extend their riding into their later years.

Tony,

I finally got to install the cruise control on my 2012 Kawasaki Concours 14 this week. I wanted to write you and tell you how impressed I am with the quality and the engineering of the kit. I took my time and followed your excellent directions and everything went smoothly. The cruise worked as advertised the first time I pressed the button.

I would add one note, as stated in your directions you used an earlier model and there was a note that the bike you used did not have a charcoal canister. My bike does, in the area of the right front fairing. When I went to install the actuator, the 2 hoses going to the canister were in the way. I disconnected the hoses, installed the actuator and was able to reinstall the hoses by sliding the canister back less than an inch.

Thank you again for making such a great, high quality product.

Hello,

I bought a Cruise control from you in the past and was very impressed with both the performance of the unit and the ease of fitting it, so it was natural that when I wanted one for a new bike I would get one from you.

Thank you for a quality accessory and for the trouble you go to in describing the installation and set-up.

I installed the MC cruise unit on my 98 Honda Valkyrie. I should have installed it a decade sooner. The instructions were well written and illustrated! The factory settings for the servo unit work very well! No need to adjust anything as they have set the parameters for a very smooth operating system. I did have some problems with the install and I was able to talk with Tony and get things corrected quickly (problem: operator error). I use the cruise every time I take a ride...reduction in ticket stress is invaluable... so is the savings in involuntary donations to a local municipality. I wanted a cruise system that worked like an automobile system and this does the job! Best add on I placed on the bike!!!

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016

Hi Tony and Frank.
The new Africa Twin is a great bike, but with your excellent McCruise cruise control now installed it is close to perfect.
I can keep my eyes on the road now instead of continually having to glance down at the dash to check my speed, so much safer and no risk of speeding fines.
Given that my throttle hand tends to go numb sometimes, it is also great to be able to give it a stretch now and then without any hassles.
(My only wish is that the light on the control unit showed different colours - being red-green colour-blind it doesn’t mean much to me!)

Things that have impressed me about your product and the whole customer experience so far:
• How easy your product is to use and how smoothly it operates. It engages smoothly and holds speed very accurately, and just needs a light tap on the rear brake to disengage it.
• How well you know how to adjust the unit’s settings to suit the characteristics of each type and model of bike (Your many years of product development, and vast knowledge and experience really show).
• The very clear and detailed operation manuals you provide with the product.
• Your passion for your product and determination to see every customer totally satisfied.

I would not hesitate to recommend McCruise to other riders.
Thanks again guys.

I got your request for photos and will come up with a few shortly and post them per your email.

The MC Cruise works brilliantly on my '06 FJR 1300AE - I love it!

Yours,
Stan

I purchased and installed the MC Cruise for my 2014 Honda GL1800 F6B last year. The installation instructions were hands-down some of the best I've ever seen. And once installed, the electronic cruise control worked flawlessly right out of the box. Since then, I've used the cruise almost daily, including on two cross country rides, one nearly coast-to-coast, from my home in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The MC Cruise control makes it really easy to put many hundreds of miles a day on my bike.
And when I did have a servo problem after about 30k miles of use, Tony and Frank responded to my emails for help very quickly and had a warranty replacement part in my hands within days. These guys are the best! I absolutely recommend both the MC Cruise Controls company and the product to anyone who wants to add a true cruise control to their ride. If I buy another bike without cruise, I know the first accessory I buy will be from MC Cruise Controls. Thanks, guys! :-)

BMW R1200GS

Hi Tony, Just back from a great trip and would like to say how relaxing I found using a cruise on my bike. It allowed me to concentrate on riding rather than stressing about whether I was exceeding the speed limit by a few ks which is the unfortunate consequence of our governments draconian speed laws, but that's another story. Any way it worked very well and I also found the kit and instructions very easy to follow...thanks again.

Tony,
I installed the MC Cruise on my 2013 Yamaha Super Tenere in 2014. In 2015 I did an 11000 km cross Canada and USA trip in 3 weeks and could not have done it without the MC Cruise. In 2016 I did a 5000 km trip to the Canadian east coast and again, I was so glad to have your MC Cruise installed. I had a 2008 Goldwing with factory Cruise and rode a BMW R1200GS through South Africa with factory Cruise and I can atttest your unit runs as seamlessly as these factory units. I installed it myself using your instructions and it was easy. I did have one question during the install and Tony was quick to guide me on the right path.

Simon just rang me from the Phillip Island GP circuit to tell me he loves the MCCruise on his Triumph Sprint 1050GT. He has had it on since May 2016 and can't do without it.

I sent following E-mail about a year ago. My MCC on my Valkyrie tourer has benn working perfectly and I cannot imargine any long tourings without MCC.
I could do all instllation work and adjustments by myself with well prepared your instructions without any diffculty.
Thank you for supplying such a well developped gear.

"Hi Tony,

I went out for final tuning the other day.
I felt it should be the perfect.
The kit shows the best performance with which I could be felt that the kit do the nearly same throttle work as mine.
Going flat road, uphill, and against wind, it is very smooth felling the throttle always pull a bit with no fluctuation.
Going downhill, release the throttle a bit then pull the throttle a bit which is not abrupt with soft feeling.
I am satisfied with the kit.
Thank you very much for producing such motorcycle cruise control.
I believe that I would not have the problem in future but if it happens, I will drop a line.

My final adjustments are;

1. Carburetor cable free play: 9 presses,
2. Initial throttle pull number; at 8, and
3. Sensitivity number; at 9.

Thank you very much again.

Toshi"
