First of all I wanted to say there are several great articles out there documenting how to install this cruise control. In fact, that is one of the reasons why I picked the Audiovox over the Rostra.
I just finished installing mine and made a couple of "tweaks" along the way:
I found this check valve in the HELP section of my local PepBoys. What I liked about it was the built in T and the opening inside diameter of the tubing was a lot bigger than the standard check valve most people use.
I debated about using a vacuum tank and finally decided to make one out of 1 1/2" abs drain pipe I had laying around:
The tank fit nicely into this area. Also you can see the vacuum line from the servo coming in on the left and the location of where I placed the check valve
I didn't like how the cruise control linkage was normally mounted on top of the factory cables - there didn't seem to be a lot of room. I cut the Audivox cruise control bracket as noted (3 holes showing) and while playing around with it, I noticed a spot in the carburetor linkage where I could add a bolt with a washer that would allow the bracket to pivot. I also used two large nuts as spacers that got the linkage out and away from everything else. I could then run the cable under the factory cables where it is out of the way:
I made a bracket for the controls out of a scrap piece of 1/8" aluminum I had laying around. I trimmed the top of the bracket that holds the clutch assembly to the handlebars by a corresponding amount:
Here is how it turned out:
Just another way to do it
