Thanks for the responses guys. It doesn't appear there is any technical reason why a CC could not be used on the Stelvio.
Wayne, I can understand why you don't install/use a CC if your roads do not allow for significant distances at a constant speed. I probably would not either. However, I live out here in the Great Middle and frequently when I'm on the road, I'm able to run 20,30,40,50 miles without altering my speed. A CC is very nice to have under those circumstances.
Mi_ka, these CC units are no different in operating principle than we have in our automobiles. They maintain a set speed by sensing an input signal and pulling or slacking off a connection to the throttle bodies of the engine. They can be shut off manually with a switch or automatically by touching the brake pedal or pulling the brake lever.
The Rostra and Audiovox are different in how they operate -- Rostra uses electric stepper motors, Audiovox uses vacuum -- but conceptually they're the same. The input signal on my Wee-Strom is from the bike speed pickup wire, on my C-14 it was from #1 cylinder spark plug. In both cases, the shut-off is from the wire to the rear brake light.
Once again guys, thanks for your input.
