Have any of you used this company's cruise control kits before? Would any of you have interest in such a kit for the CB1100 to maybe coax the owner to make a kit?

I really like the 2014 CB1100 Deluxe, but was hoping to have real cruise control on my next bike. (Any fun roads are very far from where I live). I contacted the owner of McCruise and asked if he had any intent to develop a kit for the CB1100, but he said no, he had no plans. He made a kit for the CBF1000 and has only sold a handful. IE his general (and probably correct) assumption is that naked bikes and their owners are not really in the market for such a device. Likely due to cost and also that naked bikes have no body work to "hide" the equipment. There is a general kit that one can buy and install on anything, but I don't think I have the skills or patience to figure that out.
McCruise does make a kit for the 2009+ Bonneville. But you can see a lot of the cruise hardware is visible after the install and to some extent clutters the "look".
I know there are throttle locks and cramp buster paddles that help on long interstate rides, but after riding my brothers Victory cruiser with real cruise control, I got a little envious of that feature.
