Didn't think of it. If I need one I'll go look in your driveway.

That's interesting, the cruise control quit on my 2007 FLHTCU on the trip
back from Daytona this year. I don't recall an acceleration issue, it just
didn't work when I hit the switch. I have the orange light too. Haven't
troubleshot it yet. Mine has 22K miles. How many miles do you have on
yours? Hmm...ANOTHER problem with this bike.

48K miles. Only problem I've had with the bike besides a ground wire
breaking inside a passing lamp. Ping me offline if you need the
diagnostic procedure.
