No. Sorry.

[naitram]

why would you want to? ( not asking in a smart ass way ) at that speed i would be concerned with the additional reaction time to dis-engage the cruise and take over the throttle

I can't set any of our bikes past 85.   '02, '04, and '07.

07 owners manual on page 114 states only good from 30 - 85 mph or 48-137 kph

Sorry don't know of a way to by pass this

I didn't realize that there was a limit on the speed for the cruise control, but it makes sense that there would be.  I had my cruise lock up on an '04 Ultra Classic.  I had to hit the kill switch, pull in the clutch, and coast over to the side of the Georgia interstate.  I started the bike back up and continued the trip (without the cruise).  One dealer in GA and my local dealer both checked out the bike and could not reproduce the problem.  I would hate for it to have locked up at 95 MPH.

In i's first year or 15 months the cruise on the red bike hung up all the time.  Initially only in temps below 45 or so but progressively worse as time passed. 

Normal drill at the damn dealership though.  Had it to them four times only to hear the common refrain "it didn't do it for us Don."  I told them it was the cable.  I told them I'd taken it off and found the cable working roughly and even hanging in the cable housing.  Same drill, "it didn't do it for us."

I still think they never did any more then try it at an idle.  The last time I attempted to have them look was asking about an obviously broken front motor mount at the same time.  Same drill, "it looks ok to me."

Finally dawned on me that a set of Velva mounts and stabilizers and a $30 cable was cheaper then the time spent going back and forth to this fine example of a well trained effective service establishment.  Cruise control stepper cable, 30 bucks and change.  Saying f**k it and just moving on, priceless.

Wow this seems so so familiar to the Howie Threads on warranty vs. just doing it yourself

Not entirely Harry.  Though the premise is the same.  Howie did much of his as a sort of pre-emptive warranty avoidance technique.  Feeling like you need to do that because you can't count on what might be ahead of you is bad enough.  Having actual and easily identifiable bad parts currently broken or bad and still not being able to get warranty handling in such a time that to avoid simply taking a swing at someone it's just easier to do it yourself is, in my opinion, an even more flagrant foul.
