I had the cruise control fitted last week (for the EU, it is the non-DRL version A9630247 )
It is a nice mod to have, but it is the crudest, most basic version and i feel that Triumph could have offered this as OEM equipment for a few pennies more.
For 301 euros including fitting, it is a glorified software update (the bike is 100% cruise control ready, as the dash already has the activation light installed & all cabling is plug & play) and in order to accomodate this upgrade it is necessary to replace the whole left hand side switch cube - FOR A SINGLE ON/OFF BUTTON!!!!
And after paying all that, you cannot change your speed on the fly (acceleration nor decel). All you can do is cancel your set speed.
I expected more from a fly by wire system.
Even switching it off is not intuitive (unless you cancel it by touching the throttle/brake/clutch). Turning it on requires two pushes on the button to set it.
I have no problem paying for quality, workmanship, etc. But i feel that this mod is a little expensive compared to what it gives and what it COULD have cost if installed from the factory.
