Picked up a Rostra cruise control kit a while ago, as the 40 goes on a fair amount of longer trips and cruise is one of "modern" things I missed. Definitely a "nice to have", but my right leg does have a cranky nerve that gets aggravated when sitting in one place like that, so cruise helps take some of that load off too.
Price seems to fluctuate a bit, but I used the universal control (250-1223), and picked up the speedo-cable VSS (250-4153). (It was $313 for both at the time.)

I also needed a cruise control switch for inside...I wanted it to be somewhat "hidden", so I picked up an old wipe/wash switch to see if I could make it work using the twist somehow.
The VSS, like most, is threaded wrong/incorrectly for our metric threads, but it at least matched the square drive on the upper side of the cable (vs the round drive down on the trans). It's a simple magnetic pickup, so I cut their case apart and 3D printed one that would thread on to the maintenance interval detector - actually worked out as a nice, easy spot. (I also ended up redoing it and merging in a speedo ratio corrector there, but that's another story).
