I've got the Rostra electronic cruise control on my NT. I bought it from Gary Murphy of Murphskits.com. A friend who'd installed one on his C-14 Concours installed mine. It was a long two-day job for Mike...I'd still be scratching my head.

But it works well and is a big improvement over the Throttlemeister that's still on the bike when I'm riding the rolling hills between here and anywhere else. It's considerably cheaper than the NT-specific MC Cruise, but it's definitely not plug and play like the MC Cruise.

+1 On GoCruise. I've used it for quite a while now and it doesn't impede thottle movement enough to be a problem in an emergency. It has just enough friction to hold the grip where you put it, but you can still easily twist the throttle, even with it engaged against the brake lever. After about 2 years, I did have to replace the litte teflon ring on the grip as the original one was somewhat burnished by the slipping action of the device, it was like $2 for 2 new ones.
