That was my initial thought, as I eventually will have both. I don't have my bike though to go and take a peek.

There has to be another place we can mount it, as some of us like myself have the corbin seat which leaves NO room to spare underneath. I'll be grabbing this ASAP as I have a trip coming up to Vermont, a 4 hour ride from Cape Cod.

No photos yet. I'll get some next time I'm up at Joes. Hopefully labor day I will be there testing his revised harness.
As for mounting locations, I sure hope so too. After I get the bike back I'll be rooting around looking for alternate places to put it. I have a few ideas.

This bike is damn near impossible to work on because everything is so tightly packed. Took me weeks to figure out where to mount the junction box for my lights, and even then it had to be a weird custom shape to fit the bike since there are no flat surfaces anywhere.

Joe didn't get back to me about labor day, so the testing I was supposed to do didn't get done. I had my brother go up and ride it on thursday, and he seems to think that it's complete and working correctly.
Joe said he was happy with it, and now i just need to find a time to go and pick the bike up.

Good to know, been anxious to grab this and install it. Just did a 600 mile trip to the Kancamangas in NH and cruise would've been wonderful.

Believe me, you have no idea how anxious I have been to get my bike back and finally get to try it out on my own. It's been 2 and a half months with no Hyper.

I'm picking the bike up tomorrow from Joe. I'm still not convinced it's 100% finished, but he tells me it is. So I suppose we'll see! I'll get some extended miles on it next week and report back to him.
Joe mentioned last time we spoke that he put in an order for more connectors, so hopefully that means he'll have a few more units that can be ready for shipping soon.

We now are selling a electronic cruise control for the 2012-2016 Hyperstrada. This cruise control interfaces with your electronic throttle by wire on your motorcycle. You can order this unit by phone at 763-241-4172

It's a waterproof trailtech 3-button unit.
Here's something to excite you guys. I just got the bike back on Saturday and the cruise works great. I made a couple suggestions to Joe on things he can make better. Once I get a production wiring harness I will be doing a full write-up and install procedure for you guys.

So, how is it working out? I called and was told that they are on back-order... I will order mine when they are available and we have some real world feedback.

I have about 300 miles on the cruise so far. Wow, I can't imagine how I ever rode this thing without it. The buttons and layout are awesome, and it's very intuitive to use. The middle button is on/off, Top button is for setting and accelerating, bottom is for decelerating.
Also the install process is super simple. Route all of the cables from under the seat along the right side to follow the hard brake lines and clutch cable, up to the steering stem area. This is where it plugs into the throttle connector, and the other wires run behind the headlight for the status LED and the controls. Should be easily completed in under an hour I'd say.
The unit comes pretuned for all of the cruise control algorithm parameters, but comes with instructions on how to change these parameters if necessary. I haven't found that it's needed yet, as the cruise holds around 1mph of what I set it at. Either brake or the clutch turns the cruise off, that's obviously needed for safety.

I forgot to mention, the control box itself sits underneath the seat on top of the ECU. I can get a photo for you guys tonight. I keep a larger toolkit in my trunk, so the small tool pack under the seat can be taken out. It's sad Ducati doesn't leave room for very much under there.
