I'm getting ready to install it on my 2014 FLHTK, the nice thing about the powervision over the powercomader, it dosen't have to stay on the bike, FuelMoto has maps pre-tested maps for the PV2.
Thats the way to do it Enjoy the RUSH

Default A quick pic

I am a lifelong photographer so I am not to happy about this iPhone grab shot but it does at least shows I have a bike.

Finding neutral more often now :-)

After I have done a few thousand kms on this bike I will attempt to do a comparison review between it and my Victory Cross Roads as they are quite similar bikes,
Having fun on this one so far though!

From my personal experience, the new brakes require adjustments in your braking habits. When I first got my 14 Limited, I was using the front brake 75% effort with 25% to the rear. I was stopping so fast that my wife was sliding into me. Soon I learned to go lighter on the brakes and all was good. I went from a non ABS 07 to the 14 with linked ABS. Much better, I would never go back.
