Things you will need:
-ccs100 kit ( purchased from murphskits.com )
-brake relay ( purchased from murphskits.com )
-vacuum canister
-1.5” pvc pipe, end caps, brass barbs
-3 feet additional tubing
-vacuum check valve (purchased from autozone)
Things that will help:
-zip ties
-electrical tape
-wire taps
There have been a lot of inquiries on the forum about putting cruise control on the Vrod. With a lot of help from JDKEEGAN, I wanted to do a write up to help others feel more confident about this mod. This was done on a 09 VROD Muscle with a Power Commander 5 (more on this later).
First the usual……DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! This write up is a reference and may or may not be the best for your exact configuration. Also, if someone wants to add any additional information, please feel free.
To start, you will need to be topless (hooray for boobies!!) and strip the bike of the headlight, airbox, side covers and seat. Remove the air filter, v-stacks, and bottom. You will see a throttle connector with a c-clip on the end, remove this c-clip and slide the throttle connector off the post. Slide the “large, ring –cable connector” from the CCS onto this throttle connector. Replace the throttle connector and the c-clip. There is a stock bolt you can use on the top of the motor. Mount the servo cable mount as seen in the pictures. Connect the servo cable to the metal throttle O-ring thingie. Tighten the servo cable nuts to the servo cable mount. Hang the servo over the side. While you are in there, look on the left side of the motor. You will see a rubber nipple, remove the nipple and connect the tubing to the vacuum port. Run this tubing out this area to where it may go later. This would also be a good time to replace/ add an O-ring to the breather tube. Replace the bottom of the air box, stacks, and air filter.
I started from the back with the wiring. If you have LED lights, you need a relay. Connect the black and yellow from the relay to the RED w/ yellow stripe wire that connects to the brake light. Take the red and white wire from the relay and connect this to a grounding point. The blue wire connects to the purple wire that comes off the servo wiring.
You have to options of adding the tach wire to the ECM. Because I have a Power Commander, I tapped in pin 3. It is a black wire (do not get this confused with the many other black wires in the loom). If you do not have a Power Commander, you can tap into pin3 but will have to configure your own connector. If you open up the connector, you will see a blue insert where a wire would go. Sorry, but for this route, your own you own. This this connection will go to the blue wire on the servo unit.
Go to the front left of the bike, find the gray duetsch connector. Within this connector, find the wire that is orange w/ white stripe. This is where you can tap into for your 12v ignition. As you can see in the picture, I also have done the hi/lo mod. You will connect: the red wire from the servo unit, the red fused wire from the controller, and the gray wire from the controller to this location.
For the vacuum canister, I made mine out of 1.5” pvc pipe, end caps, and brass barbs. I would have bought the vacuum canister but since I have the arnott compressor under the airbox, I had to go the pvc route. Take the tubing you connected earlier and connect the vacuum check valve, the connect the tubing to one side of the pvc canister. I found sliding the canister in from the right was easiest. Run the tubing from other fitting on the canister to the servo.
Take the controller and mount it where you would like. Run the black to the ground, the gray to the 12v accy, and the red, brown, green and yellow to the servo wiring. Find a location for the servo. Run the corresponding wires to the control unit. Run the blue wire to the ecm, run the purple to the brake light wire.
I used a zip tie that is designed for air conditioning duct work to mount the servo down. Make sure to remove the jumper inside the servo as well as set the dip switches. Zip tie all the wires and put it all back together.
Wiring:
Control Unit:
black - ground
gray - attach to 12v accy
red - attach to 12v accy
brown - brown servo wire
green - green servo wire
yellow - yellow servo wire
Servo:
black - ground
red - 12v accy
brown - brown wire from Controller
green - green wire from controller
yellow - yellow wire from controller
purple - blue wire on brake relay
blue - pin 3 on ecm (using a power commander, if not, connection will have to be fabricated)
gray wire connected to black wire - not used - remove
Relay:
blue - purple servo wire
white - connect to red wire on brake relay then ground
red - connect to white wire on brake relay then ground
black - connect to yellow wire on brake relay then connect to brake light wire (red w/ yellow stripe)
yellow - connect to black wire on brake relay then connect to brake light wire (red w/ yellow stripe)
