Anyone own, or know of this specific bike?

I have the tuner for it and thought the owner may be interested in getting it.

Thanks

They shouldn't but they do !

Sometimes the bikes then go to 3rd and 4th owners. I have bikes arriving to me that have been reflashed when new, Race tuners now LONG gone. It can cause problems when trying to get ECM connectivity.

I know for absolute fact that Frasers Perth had heaps of them stored on the shelf, used once, VIN written onto them, then "stored" for when the bikes came in for service. Bikes would have been sold privately and that info not passed on to the new owner. Then bikes passed thru the hands of Indy shops and the history of the bike is gone. Many of them would still have been there when Frasers shut up shop and retreated east. They gave no notice, had all us Perthites thinking they were relocating within the Perth metro region. Then GONE with next to zero notice.

At the time I thought WTF ? Remembering you were poppying up to the dealer the guts of a grand for a Race Tuner FFsake.

Why would you not take home something that had cost all that money ?

I have also seen many used US imports where the bikes and tuners have parted company, lots actually !

There is no physical device, and the tuner holds the unlock key .

I only work on bikes up to 2018, and the vast majority are way older than that.

If and when IF finally I have to replace my own current 63,000 K's 2008 bike, it will be pre 2017 Twin Cam for sure.

I keep an eye on the local classifieds, and 2 years back a one owner 2009 Softail Custom came up for sale in a deceased estate.

Local bike, only 4 K's from my home address. 100% stock, air cleaner etc, with modern quiet Screamin Eagle slip-ons.

Two tone Blue and Black. 3,000 K's and kept in the loungeroom by the elderly owner, who hadn't ridden thru ill health for years.

Lingered quite a while on Gumtree, for sale by a non riding nephew. I thought too dear myself at the time.

It was effectively NEW.

Coulda/shoulda as always...that may have seen out my riding days as I only do 4,000 K's per year now.

I have a brand new Orange Supertuner pro dongle (aka race tuner) that I have kept for that "future bike".

That came from a Stage 4 race kit that a mate put into a 2013 Streetglide that already had a Supertuner pro married to it, in 2015.

No "tune licence" for me......

I got into "tuning" or more accurately ECM reflashing way back in 2008 as I was determined to NOT be beholden to a local dealer workshop if I could avoid it. At the time Frasers knew SFA about EFI, having ordered only carburetted bikes up to 2006.

They ordered hardly any Magnetti Marelli bikes due to the grief they gave and when HD in the US shifted to Delphi EFI in 2001 the "Aussie" fear remained.

That's why I won't ever go down the "tune licence" yellow brick road. I must be able to do it myself.
