    Thought I would update as to my new upgrades. I added carbon remus cans and a power commander III.

    The sound is great. Still pretty tame, you won't set off any car alarms in the city but it does have a nice growl to it now. Not as loud as a two brothers, but not too far off either. At cruising/highway it's not loud at all, to the rider anyway.

    Power. The bike seems to pull harder, especially from the 60-110 range, very even power all the way through. The vtech is not as 'violent' when it kicks in at all speeds.

    The only negative is fuel economy. I rode to San Francisco from Truckee and was near 40mpg, had the work done and on the ride home I was only getting 36.... Now, the ride back is uphill more than the ride there-tough call but it would seem like I'm getting less for sure.

    Definately a great improvement overall. The power seems to be delievered even smoother than factory...


    I'll post some pics later.

    K. Got your back. Give me your email.

    1) Get VFRD Cozey's map, ( I'll send it to you, via email).
    2) Do a pair valve removal.

    This are the 2 best, and noticable, mods.

    Anything above and beyond, is catless headders w/ tinyminds map. 109 ponies at dyno. YAY!
