Trying to get a little more power out of the old iron and someone sent me a link to these adjustable power bands.... Not sure who it was but starting to think they were kidding me. Anyone have info or experience with these?

Think they might fit a '79 FLH?

I do not know who sent you the link but it is like having the new guy go get fiberglass brazing rods!

These things have been around for quite some time now. My grandfather installed two sets on his plumbing truck which was a stick shift international. Anyway, he took it out in the alley behind his house in Detroit and just let er rip. A bunch of his tools and plumbing stuff fell out the rear tail gate when it fell open from the acceleration. I had to go out and help him recover all his stuff.
If you have EFI, you might want to limit your self to just three at the most. Put two on each side and the last one down the middle and you shouldn't have much problem except with reinstalling your battery. And most of all, have fun.
