Has anyone installed a RBW Skull on their Harley? I'd like feedback, does it really work?

Interesting!! I have something along the same concept in my truck of all things, called a pedal commander. It does make a noticable difference in the throttle response. It certainly does not add any HP or torque, it makes the throttle "quicker" and get's rid of the fly by wire lag.

Interesting. Gotta admit I’ve had to google it. Here’s the link in case there’s someone else, like me, who doesn’t have a clue what OP is talking about. Gizmo provides five riding modes for any TBW Harley. I wonder how does it play with existing traction control.
