    CRUISE CONTROL FOR TRIUMPH 1200 THRUXTON & THRUXTON R

    Hello!

    I have recently purchased a 2016 Thruxton R and to my surprise the previous owner had installed a cruise control system on the bike. In order to fit a new bench seat I purchased I had to deinstall the system and am now looking to sell it. They system has been barely used and was installed at about 5,000 miles on the bike and the bike only has 8,000 miles on it. It is a mccruise control outfitted with the slim switch. I am including the link that takes you to the company website. https://www.mccruise.com/products/t...ottle-by-wire-mccruise?variant=29423707029602

    Please message me if interested.

    I am in the US!
