I am moving from California to Colorado. Should I expect a hue performance drop due t thinner air, and if so, how would I remedy that? Thanks for the advice.

If your O2 sensors are in tact then the ECM will compensate for the change in altitude. Of course it is not mentioned what bike you are riding, so, if you own an older carbed dyna or have a fuel mgmt. system that negates the O2 sensors, then the altitude will make the bike run more rich and colder weather will lean the bike out, so depending on your AFR, you may need to adjust for it.

I am on an 07 FXDC, the only thing that i changed (thus far) is i put on some Samson Street Sweepers O2 sensors still on. So I think that I will be ok if i understand this right. Thanks for the response.

Your bike will run better if you use lower octane gas at elevation.
