All factory cruise control systems have the pickup on the speedo and do not use magnets on an axle. This option was available from '86 up. Your "extra stalk" system was probably a dealer add-on. Cheers, Jeff

I bet you're right Mark. And, different versions for the same years, different due to mid-year changes?? My '87 Syncro Westy has the extra stalk below the turn signal stalk. Works with magnets on the L/inside CV. My '91 Westy had the integrated t/signal and cruise. This "magnetized" application is simple, reliable, uncomplicated, and so far, works. But then, I didn't have any problems with the newer speedo-style one on my '91.

I have been giving out info about the '86 and '87s that I have, and they have the speed sensor in the speedometer. Maybe there are different versions for different years.
