Had anyone done up a step by step tutorial on how to mount one on a C14?

Look over at Murphs:http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/docs/Rostra%20install.htm

Brian's step-by-step is great. It took me a week to get the thing working because some of the colors were different but I am not very smart. The Rosta has the right price and works. There is a bit of drilling required on the throttle body lever but if I can do anybody can.

Yeah, as others have said, the tutorial w/ photos is over on Murph's site. Make sure you get the most recent update though, I believe it was dated 29 March.

+1 on Rostra. Got a brand new one on ebay for $105 last fall.

Now would be a great time for Brian to announce that the cruise control he's been working on is finished and ready for distribution....

You guys have been great waiting for this thing to hit the market. I have been on the slow side, and several things have gotten in the way. The next things in the way are the trip to PA (COG spring fling), a trip to the other coast to see my son, and finally the trip to the Mouse- mont for the national COG event . I appreciate those waiting for this product.

The project is just too involved to move quickly: there is the design, material, legalities (including patents), then the alpha testing, followed by the beta testing. Once enough hours have been applied to the device I can move forward and sell it to the public at large. It has been a long journey, probably announced too early but the project continues on. I still believe it will be a great device and will satisfy even the hard -core and most demanding user.

So I thank you for your support, and gracefully take the occasional poke in the eye.We are nearing the end of the design cycle, where the product, ready or not, goes into public hands for testing.

Again, I thank everyone for their support- you people have really been great through this whole project.

You guys are being suckered. Don't you realize it's all been a long running April fools joke? Brian is obviously an employee of Kawasaki and has no intention of doing anything but bump up sales and profits for Kawasaki! The real mission behind the mystery wonder CC is to keep you from spending money with someone else. They really want to get you to buy offical Kawasaki accesories or a newer C14! They don't even plan to release a cruise control! April fools! Sorry Brian, I couldn't let you con these nice people anymore. It's been two years now!

By the way, I bet you didn't realize Brian and Mark are actually a team. Good Kawasaki employee, bad Kawasaki employee!

Shouldn't you be polishing your Hardley? Maybe trying to get the last of the baffles out of the pipes?

That is an amusing post though.

I am surprised you didn't mention Otto though.

I know were off topic!

I almost did. But he didn't really come into play in the topic. Besides, most of the new people really don't have any idea about the estate and your man servant. Otto and the estate would be more in a post about your home life. This was about corporate affairs!

B.D.F. · « **Reply #34 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:08:57 AM »

Still OFFTOPIC

Yeah, Otto and the estate tend to come up more during the months of August through June, when your bikes are laid up for the 'winter' and you are cozy in your Snuggie....

Great post, Cap'n.

You will be rewarded for that post in Wellsboro with a real Canadian maple syrup lollipop.

Bob · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2011, 02:20:39 PM »

Still off topic yet: It sounds like that Snuggie could come in handy with the cold rainy weather we'll probably be getting at Wellsboro!

The very reason I joined this group is this thread. I have just completed my own rosta cruise install and want to thank Brian and Murphs kits for the installation page. This kits works great. Thanks

B.D.F. · « **Reply #39 on:** February 27, 2019, 10:54:22 AM »

Thanks for the kind words and glad to be of help if I can.

Very old thread but glad to hear you got the CC installed and it is working well for you! Best of luck with it.
