Greetings all:

Thanks to Eric @ Xtreme, the PC has arrived! I downloaded the info, mapped it (thanks for the help "Carl" @ DynoJet), roped it all in and installed it. I also installed the HK 2.5" American Straights and the Thunder Mfg vertical teardrop air intake. Did this all by my lonesome; took about 5-6 hours from start to finish.

Took the bike for a quick once around the neighborhood, and man does it get up and move now! I did a whole breakdown of the process and posted a thread yesterday on www.volusiariders.com using my same name as here. Pix in my gallery over there, too.

If anyone has any questions about the install, etc after reading the other thread, please fire away. I learned A LOT while doing it and everything went fairly smoothly, especially the PC install (which is what I presumed would be the hardest for me since I am usually pretty inept at wiring, etc and all things electronic!).

Oh and yes, the HK pipes are loud, but not obnoxiously so... and definitely not near as loud as the Big Shot 3's on my buddys' Harley's. The HK's have a nice low rumble at idle, and of course get louder as you wind her up. I could probably do a sound bite mini-movie if someone wants to E me separately.

Best,
Daryl
