Du-Rron Posted June 4, 2016 #1 Posted June 4, 2016 Here is an idea for the next big project for those RSVowners who want to be able to set their CRUISE SPEED greater than 80mph. Do what VICTORY MOTORCYCLES did and install a ROSTRA CRUISE CONTROL module for less than $200.00. A RSV already has the:On/Off Switch, Set/Resume Switch, Clutch Switch, Cancel Switch, Tach Signalfrom Coils, Speed Sensor Signal from Drive Tube. You could use your FACTORYCONTROLS and no one would be the wiser. This would be the perfect project for @Freebird next project on his brand new – already blinged out – RSV. Notice I am volunteering you. Shown below is the VICTORY MOTORCYCLES parts list. Item #20is the CRUISE CONTROL module and VICTORY MOTORCYCLES is kind enough to tell isthat it is a ROSTRA module. Here is an advertisement on AMAZON where you can get one forless than $200.00 ROSTRA is located at http://www.rostra.com/universal-aftermarket-cruise-control-by-rostra.php
Freebird Posted June 5, 2016 #2 Posted June 5, 2016 That's pretty interesting. Doubt I'll do it though because I honestly have reached the point where I seldom exceed about 5 MPH over the speed limit and around here, that would be 75 MPH.
Du-Rron Posted June 5, 2016 Author #3 Posted June 5, 2016 Darn.... Must look for another Guinea Pig.....er INTERESTED PERSON.
Freebird Posted June 5, 2016 #4 Posted June 5, 2016 LOL....yep....I'm not the sucker...I mean INTERESTED PERSON this time.
Holly Posted June 6, 2016 #5 Posted June 6, 2016 Me either anymore, even with SD at 80 for speed limit, set mine at 75
DarrinGT Posted June 26, 2016 #7 Posted June 26, 2016 Just got back form a ride this weekend, we were beating a storm, had the cruise set at 85, no problem,. 07 RSTD
diversity48 Posted June 30, 2016 #8 Posted June 30, 2016 These RS's really like to suck the gas at speeds over about 75. 42-5 mpg at about 72. Above 75, much less...like in the mid 30's.
ragtop69gs Posted July 4, 2016 #9 Posted July 4, 2016 When I want the cruise set above 80 I set it lower, then use the accelerate button to bump the speed up to where I want it.
Flyinfool Posted July 7, 2016 #10 Posted July 7, 2016 So who is going to be the first to put a Rostra on a Venture???? I have been thinking getting a Rostra for the cage.
eagleeye Posted July 26, 2016 #11 Posted July 26, 2016 I put a rostra CC on my 09 650 vstrom last winter, and on a trip out west it was AWESOME!
Du-Rron Posted July 26, 2016 Author #12 Posted July 26, 2016 I put a rostra CC on my 09 650 vstrom last winter, and on a trip out west it was AWESOME! Please expand on this. Pictures, a write up with instructions, and DNA samples are what we need. Thanks!!!
eagleeye Posted July 27, 2016 #13 Posted July 27, 2016 This was on a SUZUKI DL650. Way over my head, but I had great help on the stromtrooper site. For a venture, good luck. As you know it's sold as a CAR CC.
