It's called a brick! Just remember that it is there so you don't stub your
toe.
Be careful while using on steep downhills, you might end up achieving the
speed limit....

I had an air-cooled westy, and enjoyed it quite a bit. However, every
morning there was a huge puddle of coolant under the van.
Well, there was also coolant puddled on the sides and top, too. It's a good
thing air is cheap.

Sorry for the snark, I'm just having a delayed Friday.
This list is an invaluable resource, and hopefully you will end up with a
nice cruise control installed.

Has anyone ever put a cruise control on an air cooled westy? Is it even
possible? I'm sure it would be pointless in the mountains but down on the
coastal plains it might be handy.
