Cruise control for ST1100

[Alberto]

Hi!
just finished coding and prototyping arduino cruise control, thanks to corona lockdown. Works as it should, supports all functions of standard CC )). Next step - think about linkage to throttle body and pack it to the box) I'll replace home - made control panel with manufactured one, this looks rubbish, but for tests it is ok I think)

Pat - When I had to install the electro servo for the new McCruise, I made a bracket that bolted to the top motor mount on the left side and 'rested' on the horn mount. It sort of 'lives' just under the fairing pocket with the end stuck back into the upper fairing. If the cable is long enough, it might fit assuming you rest the 'end' of it all the way back to the pocket where the trim piece meets the upper fairing and lower cowling. If the cable is short, could you get a 'cable' extender made? Good luck on whatever you decide to do! I'm with you - the early models had scoops on both sides and the 'nose' mounted to two embedded nuts in the upper fairing. Never though about swapping sides with it!

A couple of years ago I was considering installing a new McCruise and made up a dummy electro servo in order to investigate possible installation locations on my sidecar outfit. The actual dimensions of the servo were found on McCruise literature.
The attached photo shows what I considered an acceptable position directly above the hinged flap for pannier fitting.
The servo, of course, must be securely mounted but that aspect was not examined in detail as in the event I did not invest in a new cruise control as I located a complete, fully operational replacement, of the older design at my local breakers for £100.
May be of interest to anyone investing in a new McCruise.

My problem was that my tailpiece was already full of electronics. Nice place to put it though if you have the space.
