I would not be concerned if i were you, I think you have to be trying to lift the front and I don't think it's something you will accidentally do unless you loaded up some 60 pounds in a luggage rack :)

electrical installation Ok, I think I have it working "ok" now. I feel slight oscillation at 40mph, but that might actually be 36mph given the stock speedometer inflated value, it sets at about 31mph for whatever that is worth. I'm going to install a speedoDRD before I put this all together...

electrical installation So now I'm working on the electrical and would like to see if anyone has experience on the clutch switch and grounding the neutral safety wire of the rostra. I find that I can live with the assumption that my cruise will only be enabled with the kickstand up and...

Mechanical Stuff looking promising I know it appeared some might want to see a really slick way to hook up the cable to the fz1 throttle body, so I have created the following using the attache document. Just print 1:1 scale, and use it as a template to cut out of 1/8" aluminum sheet, 1/2"...

Almost started Yeah, I didn't want to tie my bike up over the summer and then winter got really cold. So I'm just now starting to think about installing this. I did some more prototyping and stopped for verification on my real bike. But I'll try to document what I do, and final dimensions on...

Here is my second pass, I like how it feels. I have extended it so it hits the throttle body. Any twisting action the throttle does simply tries to rotate it into the body so I think the single bolt is sufficient.

Ok, this is my first pass, I'm still optimistic. I think I can make it simpler, so I'll remake the outer bracket.

No 3d printer, I'll just print it 1:1 and do my best to scribe it on an aluminum sheet, bend in a vice...

I'll update on my progress, but I think i have a concept that will pan out really nicely. Basically rather than act on the throttle directly I'm making a actuator that bolts to the throttle body bolt just above, as well as the throttle cable clamp. It creates a pivot point to the left of the...

One more thing, does your cruise cable manage to retract into it's sheath when you pull the throttle back? I notice some people zip tie the cruise cable to the throttle cable to assist it in the right direction, but you have to keep the cables really close to allow that to happen. I'm...

Yep, I had yet to lift the tank up, it fit in just as you said, but a bolt coming up from the bottom plate might get cut down so I can slide it back another half inch, and there is a sheet bracket just under the clip for the battery tie down strap that could go away...not sure what that was for...

Ok, that's fine, I just wanted to know if you had detailed the procedure where I could find it. The bike already had the LED lights so the relay is mandatory... I'll give the servo in the exup cavity another shot, I have a junk rostra to fiddle with.

Blanchy and Thomas, I just joined, purchased my 14 fz1 this spring and am getting ready to put the Rostra cruise control on. I have a few questions: 1) Did you guys put your module in the exup location? I find that a bit tight, and with a little work I can put it flush under the passenger...
