Definitely a nice feature...plus radio, fairing & cushy seat/shocks. Years ago I would've never imagined having all these great options on my 2-wheeler. Even riding my 03 Sporty, I miss the big bike comforts...spoiled I am.
Yeah...I remember when I had the Superglide (the first one...a 1980 FXE) I used to use the throttle tension screw and thought that was just the neatest thing in the world. Hehe...not anymore. Now, a cruise control malfunction would constitute an emergency trip to the shop!
I use it plenty.. Especially on trips. Really saves the wrist and lets me stretch out my arms and rotate my shoulders on extended seat time. It's one of the main reasons I can ride for more than an hour at a time. Today I had a good 2 1/2 hours in the seat before I stopped for a gas break.
