cruise control in combination with handguards

[Enjoy-Rider]

Hi everyone!

It's been some time since I have been here.......that's because I have moved to another town.
And I've just been on a vacation.....we have been to Germany, Austria, France, Luxembourg and Belgium by motor cycle.
We've done 2000 miles in 12 days......it was great!! I never have been out of the very flat Holland before on my motor....and now I have been to mountains....wow!!
In two weeks time we'll go for another short vacation (5 days) to France again . Looking forward to it!!!!

Now my question:
I'm having the GS-handguards on my R1200R.
And I would like to have the Wunderlich cruise control as well.
However....I don't think they go together
Does anyone of you have experience with this combination?
If the cruise control is no longer an option because of the handguards, I think I will go for a throttle rocker so that I can relax my fingers now and then during a long trip.

Thanks and regards,
Jouke

I have the GS hand guards on my bike and Kaoko cruise control. Works well together.

.. and your experience has me thinking I should fit handguards too .. I swear by my Kaoko.

Still, Mark, I know you'll think my 22" parabellum + foot shields + handguards means I really only need on-bike storage for my pipe and slippers

(Now, if'n I could only get some below-tank shield to complete my wanna-be-RT ... )

Bill,

What's the ordering info for the Kaoko.. my O ring has only lasted about a year and it's starting to slack off a bit..
Need compatibility with the "old" GS handguards..

Kaoko makes model-specifc versions - it's just a case of ordering the right one and it will bolt right on.

I got mine from the local supllier .. well, Western Australia (closer to South Africa than Sydney, but great service)

There is a US distriibutors - http://www.adventurersworkshop.com/ - but doesn't list a specific R1200R. Note that motorradgarage lists the same one for R1200R/S and K1200R/S (no PN listed) and might not be not the same as the GS/ST (PN 32717698103).

Mark / celticus has one with handguards ...

I think mine was for the K1200S or R. No O ring problems so far.

Mark, would you happen to have the package with the PN on it?

The "o-ring" reference is to my poor-man's cruise control.. an O ring stuffed behind the bar-end weight..

Don I seem to have thrown out the package that it came it but the web site says it is part # CRUZCCF500. I reckon you have already looked it up though.

Mark,

I looked.. but good to have confirmation on the number. Now the question is - fog light switch or cruise control? Decisions, decisions..
