fuel economy, 30 Sep 2007 01:24 PM
I'm getting close to 5ltr per 100ks. When I punch it hard it will go about 6-7 ltr per 100 ks. My bike is a 07 FXST with V&H BSS pipes, PC111 usb, and SE AC. When I put all that stuff on I had the bike dynod for that setup and I'm using premium unleaded 95 octane. To check it reasonably accurately I fill tank, set trip A to 0 and check at next fill, don't trust tank guage! I think that the dyno is esential to tune the bike properly and achieve good economy. The 96 runs a lot cooler as well...

Another SICK SADDLES seat, 07 Feb 2013 11:05 AM
Last year I got myself a seat from SICK SADDLES in the states.  The follwing is a link to the post I did about it.   http://www.hdforums.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=71&forumid=37&tpage=2&view=Topic&postid=467534 I was very happy with the price and quality, but I did a 700 + km day and found some shortcomings.  These were more to do with my weight than any issue with the seat.  I'm about 115 kg, and I found that after that ride, I had a few sore spots. I contacted Ed from SICK SADDLES and h...

Whats going on in Queensland, 11 Feb 2012 01:58 PM
I'm just imagining walking into a bike shop to look for helmets and there they are, all in a line with a guy polishing each one and giving it a little kiss, seeing me and (in Con-the-fruiterer-voice), "you afterer a freshest helmet?  We has the freshest!  Straight from the tree!!"  I see their point on helmets, makes logical sense for safety reasons but the rest is pure shit.   If the fuckers cant hear my exhaust or see me waving around in my lane being visible, a bright yellow shirt aint gon...

Power Commander V Map, 02 Sep 2011 10:23 AM
Hi Guys, I am looking for a recomended map for a Power Commander V fitted to my 2009 Softail Custom fitted with heavy breather kit & V&H Big Radius 2into2 exhaust. Have downloaded maps from Power Commander website & am going to try maps M15-004-003, M15-004-072 & M15-004-074. Any suggestions as to any better maps. I was having problems with decel popping so tried this suggestion as stated on PC website, worked a treat. Q: I am happy with the way my bike runs, but it “pops” during decel. ...

Variations in Tuning styles, 01 Sep 2011 10:22 PM
I am not sure if this has been done before, but I have been reading up on TTS in other forums etc.  In the past I have followed the TTS guide with the program,  however I have come across some different variations to the tuning process itself.  The following are somewhat different to what the guide says 1. Set AC and DE to 0 across the board, 2. Set PE to 13.5 in all colums, 3. Set Adaptive Knock Control to off in tuning constants. 4. Set Spark Advance to 0.    Do your normal tunin...

What's a good sleeping bag for a small biker swag?, 26 Jun 2011 12:27 AM
I want to get a new sleeping bag to go in a panorama biker swag which I recently bought from JS Enterprises www.jsenthunting.com.au/panorama-swags.php# The swag is great quality and so was the service and communication.  Now the biker swag is quite compact (only 600mm wide). I have only tried sleeping in it once in the cold weather and as expected there was a little condensation inside, but not as bad as I expected. The sleeping bag I used was a standard sleeping bag which I got tangled ...

Maximus Direct Link by TechnoResearch (Tuner), 23 May 2020 12:24 PM
Frizzles were fitting these up before they closed last year. Obviously Screaming Eagle Supertuner pro was gone. One of my riding mates "downsized" from a 2010 Ultra limited (tuned by me for 255 cams etc) to an 2019 M8 Streetbob. At 74 the Ultra was becoming too heavy for him so he took the hint. The M8 Streetbob seems to go allright ( as Fugly as a fugly thing of course). Now I have not played with this bike (yet) but the day will come. What he has is the "Physical product" AKA a black dongle. T...

Handlebars - Internal Wiring, 17 Feb 2019 08:16 PM
Having done probably 20+ bar installs over the years I say the answers are a) No and b) Yes.  The tank comes off unless you're Inspector Gadget/a Thai masseuse.  Re: the plugs.  1) They don't fit through 95% of fatbars and 0% of 1" bars. 2) removing each pin from the plug-housing and then re-fixing after threading the bar inevitably results in shitty connections and electrical gremlins down the track. Nowadays I cut the loom off about 80mm from the plug, thread the bar, and then solder/heat sh...
