I put my laptop in the tour pak on top of a pillow. I would think you could put it into a backpack and wear it if you do not have a bagger. My lap top is ancient it has a 400 MHz amd processor and windows me. It had no problems recording the data-master and v tune data.

Good ques. At first that was an issue. I actually did some test runs with just the slip-ons before I got the SE A/C installed. I decided the best way was two bungee cords crisscrossed over the laptop (with the cables & MT interface under the bungees too) on the back seat. I put the computer top side down to keep the bottom vents uncovered. My first choice was the saddle bags but I think it over heated once in the saddle bag, even with the lid slightly popped open on one side. Also in the saddle bag required devising some foam rubber to keep it from bouncing around without covering the air vents. I was a little nervous at first running around with my prized laptop strapped on the back seat, but after a while it became a non-issued. And it is easier to access versus in the saddle bag.
When you finished collecting data you need to save the DataMaster run file before shutting off you engine or the computer could lock up. I never tested this advice.
The laptop is a Dell insprion 1420 with a T7250@ 2.0 GHz and 3 gigs of ram running Vista home premium.

Glad everyone is liking the product and finding that it's not all that hard to use. As far as a laptop it does not take anything fancy at all so pretty much anything that will run Windows 98 and newer will do the trick. Minimum Specifications can be found in the Help file for it. I've run both with the laptop on the rear of the seat and in the saddle bag with no issues, so it's really up to you. My rear seat hook up is pretty simple. I had a piece of cloth that I used to hold an extra helmet on the rear so I just started with useing that but found it was the wrong size so a buddy wife made me a new one that fits my laptop. It's just two bungee cords sewn into the cloth that I put over the laptop and hook to the rear fender support.

Yes. In fact, the HELP files suggests the stock ECM settings be copied and saved in case they need to be reloaded...easy to do and takes about 90 seconds.
According to what I'm reading in the File Listing, there are a couple of maps to consider for the '08 Drive By Wire touring models. Asking TTS directly might lead you to the right one much faster then I could.
I got mine from board member Doc. TTS lists the single bike program for $425 (see note below). Doc may still discount to board members...contact him for latest info.
The kit consisted of the mini-CD and interface. The CD contains the MasterTune, DataMaster, VTune, and Software Updater programs.
Note: if you don't have the cables (serial or USB), you'll need to purchase those as well.
Hope that helps!

Load the program to your PC, update the files, then read through the HELP files.
Remember to make a copy of the factory map in your ECM and save it before any changes are made (once the PC is connected to the bike, this takes only about 90 seconds).
Good luck!!!

I will ask the dealer to save me a copy she paid them to install and dyno it so I will get everything after it's done...Need to make sure I get everything I should back from them after they are done!

FWIW, I've adjusted mine slightly richer and really didn't see any difference except using a bit more gas. So, I just put them back to what was suggested in the new map to begin with.
Hope that helps!
