Given the recent rash of AudioVox CCS-100 Cruise Control purchases, I authored an update web page which provides updates to my original write-up and has some other miscellaneous pointers on doing the install.
Here's the link:

I've been planning my next K75 build and I've come up with an even better idea for mounting the CCS-100 control pad - get rid of it altogether. I'm going to use the K1100LT left side switch gear that has the windscreen up and down switches built in. The top switch will serve as the tap up/ resume/accel button and the bottom switch will serve as the set/coast/tap down button. Like the switches I mounted on my RS but for other things:
Since it's a K75 wiring harness I'll need to graft a 2 valve right wiring harness connector onto the switch assembly but that's easy as the wiring colors are all the same.
I've looked at the CCS-100 documentation and will wire things up as follows:
Black: Ground
Red: Switched 12V (main power)
Brown: Switched 12V (this eliminates the need for the on/off button as the unit will just come on automatically when the bike is turned on)
Then wire the wires from the windscreen switches as follows:
Green from windscreen switch: Switched 12V input.
Blue from windscreen switch to yellow CCS-100 wire
Gray from windscreen switch to green CCS-100 wire
I'm psyched. This is going to be my best cruise control install EVER. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

So does the LT switchgear plug directly into an RS wiring harness? If so is there another separate plug coming out of the switch that would normally go to the windscreen motor?
Or does the entire switch harness need to be reworked?
BTW, that is a great mod Drake. _________________ John & Cathy

It's plug-n-play for the normal switches with a separate 3 wire connector for the windscreen. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

Am I understanding this right? You're adding an LT windscreen switch to the RS which doesn't have an electric screen. And where does that thumb switch come from, I thought they were all on the bar cover with the other switches?
As an aside, has anyone come up with a good source for the cruise unit? _________________ Jim

The handlebar mounted switch came on the late '96 and later LT's. I picked up one last month off flea-bay and put on my '95 to do away with the dash pad switch.
I got 1 of my C.C. unit's from Amazon, the other one I got from Dave's liquidation sale. _________________ Ride safe.

I've had that one on my RS for quite a while now. The up button serves as my ABS switch and freed up a switch slot for other uses. The down button triggers my Stebel air horn.
The last coupel of years LTs had this feature.
Brandsplace still has the CCS-100 for $85 which is a decent price. There's a few on eBay for a similar price. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

S-C-H-A-W-I-N-G!!!
I just finished all of the maintenance and mods on the K75 I just bought and took it for a ride. One of the mods was to add cruise control and use the LT windscreen switch to control it. It works like a champ.
I took the best K bike mod I'd ever done and made it better.

Additional diagnostic note:
Took my K75 out riding yesterday. Was enjoying the cruise control but after I did a slow left U-turn it stopped working for some reason. Frustrating. I'd just installed it so I was sure all of the wiring was good but at my next stop I rechecked the connections at the coils and brake wires. Also checked that the brake light bulb was functioning. All seemed well.
Then it just started working again a while later. Weird.
Later in the afternoon I pulled another slow tight left U-turn and it quit working again. Hmmm.... what could it be?
Next I tried hitting both brakes and letting them go quickly to see if it might be a flaky brake switch. Cruise control started working again. Tried slowly letting off the brakes and sure enough the cruise control quit working again. Tried each brake by itself and narrowed it down to a sticky rear brake switch which I'll take care of today.
That is all. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

Yet another update:
Making the CCS-100 work with an LED brake light bulb. (Finally got around to this one.)
Some LED lights are polarized and only let current through one way. The CCS-100 does not like this and will not work because it sends a small reverse current to ground through your brake light bulb to make sure the filament is working. If it doesn't see a good bulb then it no worky-worky.
The solution is to attach the CCS-100 purple wire to a normally closed relay to ground.
If you're using a standard automotive relay then you'll need the five pin version - one that has an 87a pin.
Hook things up as follows:
Pin 85: Ground
Pin 86: Tap into green/black brake switch wire
Pin 30: Ground
Pin 87a: CCS-100 purple wire
And while you're at it you'll need to get rid if the bulb monitor unit because it won't be happy with a polarized LED bulb either. Remove the BMU and short the following wires:
Gray/Red and Gray/Green to Gray/Yellow (Brake light)
Gray/White-2 wires to Gray/Black (Tail light)

I bought my electronic one from Murphs, worked a treat for the last year, until the other day when it stopped working/ I haven't had time to diagnose it yet.... _________________ K1100RS '97

Finally got around to seeing why mine stopped working, all the connections were good so I pulled the actuator box apart, under the circuit board there's a motor driving the cable pull. The screws holding the motor in had fallen out so the motor was loose and floating around in the bottom of the box so the drive belt had fallen off and one of the motor wires was broken, soldered it up screwed it back in and hey presto it's all good.
BTW in case you are wondering how it lets go so fast when you hit the brakes there's an electromagnet that lets go immediately then the motor catches up later. Pretty cool design really. Shame they didn't use a bit of loktite on the motor screws though! _________________ K1100RS '97
