i went for a ride today-tonight

[Rob Morel]

Just to let the group know we successfully installed and are using the Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control on our 98 and an 01 Suzuki DR650s. These are great units for adventure touring and are under $100. Work just like your cars CC. I see no reason why they wouldn't work on a KLR650. I posted some pics of the installation in the photo section under Audiovox cruise control. Enjoy ,be glad to answer any questions. Moderater feel free to delete pics if there is no interest in this accessary. Rob in Walla Walla, WA
