Rockosmith Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What a nicely equipped VStrom. Wish I had seen it before I bought mine. Curious about the electronic cruise control. What brand is it and how difficult was the install? Really surprised it hasn’t sold yet! Link to comment
Charles Elms Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 It's a Rostra. Quite a few people have put them on VStroms. I had to fabricate a simple "L" bracket from strip aluminum for the mechanical hook up to the throttle linkage. Removing all the clutter to get to the linkage took a while as I had never done it. Just took some time. Realshelby(on this and the VStrom forum) was one of the early converters and has lots of very good posts on how to do it and connect it electronically. I ow him a debt of gratitude for this. I had to do some small wire soldering, but I could do that. Cruise control is one of the best features on any bike that is used for touring in my opinion. Bike is still for sale if you are interested. I think it will go quickly when the weather warms up. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I met that V-Strom in Lake George! Charles, what’s your plans after the sale? Link to comment
Charles Elms Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Pat, Remember you well and your 1200. It's replacement will definitely not have a roof, but will have 4 wheels, not 3. Miata or Mustang? 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Sounds like a great plan Charles! Link to comment
