I recently purchased a 2012 ST1300 ABS in Arizona. I want to take a big ride up and down the West Coast from Phoenix to Alberta, BC and down to San Diego. Then I will ride it home to New York. I'm 68 years old and want to make it easier. My question concerns the possibility of retrofitting it with a real cruise control. Has anybody tried this? I know its not throttle by wire and that complicates things but I've been told (by a friend who did it to his older Triumph Bonneville) that it is possible as an aftermarket. Has anyone experience with this?
My other wish is to lower the suspension, if possible or even prudent. I am 5'9" and cannot flatfoot this bike. At my age, I prefer to have a bike I can flatfoot. An extra inch on the seat height would be a big plus for me. Any suggestions? I
