MCCruise

You might be looking at an obsolete version....the pull cable from the servo routes around the front of the engine to the CIU which is right next to the factory throttle spool. There are several wires which come from the CC Computer and route along the left side and should get worked into the bundles of other wires on the bike. Removal of the bearclaw should cause no problem. And removing the stock air plenum would be no worse than it normally is so installing Ramair should be done as recommened by the Ramair people. Incidentally, if you remove the stock intake system, it will not go back together! Not so that it won't be sucking unfiltered air everywhere. I believe the outer and inner plenums were installed with the engine out. And were therefore already in place when the frame was brought down onto the engine.

I'm not sure of the exact routing on mine because I haven't pulled my bear claw yet. The cable goes around the front of my engine and and into what I believe is the servo which Claviger found on the right side while downloading the new tune. Again, don't have the install instructions in front of me and know I'm getting the terminology incorrect. I don't understand the thing, yet, but it works great. It's the first time I've had cruise on a bike since my 1985 Gold Wing SEI LTD.

And on the Ram Air, I'm still undecided on whether or not to install it, just because as you point out, it's a permanent mod. Thus it still sits in a box on a shelf in my shop.
 
Video is uploading to utube now. It could take an age but I link to it once published. You might glean some insight both with mccruise and ramair as I have both. As to ramair it might cost you a tiny bit of low end torque but you can tune around that and ultimately should. @HansO might be persuaded to divulge an appropriate tune

I’m not quite sure what you mean by permanent?? I just installed mine and I would be able return it to stock any time I want.

Permanent as in irreversible from what rocketjohn said in an earlier post in this thread, unless I have misunderstood him.

I removed all the plumbing back to the filter box with the tank up and a 5mm long ball Allen wrench and maybe one other bolt.
The rear most hose clamp that connects the hose to the filter box is the hardest!!
But I found it was not tight at all. That was what was causing a small intake backfire since new. Installed ram air and no more backfire.
 
Well my T runs great now since the TORs and new tune, which is why I'm still undecided on the Ram Air. I'll get some miles in when the weather improves, which is starting to happen this week, and make a decision.
 
Whoever has McCruise what are the top/bottom handlebar mounting advantages/disadvantages. Am considering one during the sale as this weekend while I was out riding the throttle lock I put on was doing nothing but aggravating me.
