PV finally mounted on handlebar permanently
Ordered split top clamps a few months back, PV fits right in the center perfectly. It doesn't look too bad at all, at least not sticking up high. I might make a smaller mount in the future, good enough for now! I am looking forward to Autotune and 107 in a couple weeks.

Looks like you figured out a good setup. What I know about the PV isn't much- just what I read here. So what I'm asking you is to explain the advantage of having it mounted on the bike versus hooking it up after some running time to check the tune. I guess it has something to do with the Auto Tune you're getting, but please enlighten me.

To be honest, I didn't want to mount it on the bike at all, it is there for a reason, Autotune pro! I am no expect, read my other post here Some ppl say ok, some ppl say no, I do believe there are some advantages after reading the manual. At least I don't have to mount it, fine tune every month or two as needed.

Hey 128auto, been on the road the last 4 days but back now and planning on installing my Pro upgrade today! Have you already installed the WBs and everything? It will be interesting to run some ATs with the Pro Version, I think it will be much better.

Hey! I am not going to install Autotune pro till my 107 kit installed. Slow at work this morning so I mounted it on the bar. My AT pro is sitting at the mailbox, I am waiting for FM to ship my 107 kit tomorrow, say about 7 days. Next weekend project, I am excited! I don't want to pull everything out and wait for parts, another month and a half riding north west here. Avoid down time! Stay tuned bro! I know you are excited!
Stay tuned bro! I know you are excited!

Nevel-
I love the gauges. I monitor measured (from the O2 sensors) vs specified air/fuel, manifold air pressure (helps me know what regions of my fuel map to work on to balance economy vs. power) and cylinder head temp on my 6 field display. I really like watching head temp--my bike used to run hot. I've seen 330* at the head and 265 oil temp. I finally went w/ a CFS cooling fan and seldom go over 230. I'll try and get a pic of my mount. It's very funky but allows for easy off and on, whether for theft /weather protection or working w/ the unit at a computer.

Yeah, I can still take it off and leave the ball stud there, shouldn't say permanently. LOL

Definitely! I have a Dakota gauge now but I have to hit the button to switch from one reading to another, it is a bonus to me. Temp is a big thing to watch, you are right!
