yeh guess everyone is off riding and doing their thing. I'm sort of scratching my head with why my idle is going between 40-43map and if that's normal for 57h cams. seems to me it should be idling more in the 30-35map area.
Wished I could help but I am trying to find time to get out for the first time this year. I was lucky that my starting map was good and didn't have to change mine at all.
Hmm I missed this post. are you still running the stock belt pulleys? with 140tq you should be snapping your head back in 6th rolling on, if you had say 30/68 belt pulleys.
Nope just stock pulleys. Cannot image what first gear would be like, it already tries to pull my hands off the handlebars. Glad I have a backrest.
DDH- I have the rpm vs mph charts or pulley combos posted here on page 1, post #3 or #4. The biggest benefit you'll get (since your bike is already fast) is in 6th and no longer needing to downshift to pass quickly. with the stock gearing 6th is just too damn tall because it is straight 1:1 with the secondary (belt pulleys) drive ratio.
Wow, there's a hell of a lot of work that went into that post(s)! Since I have a 180 rear tire on my '07 SG there is less than a 1/16th of a inch between the belt and tire. A wider pulley probably wouldn't fit but I'll check it out. Again thanks, L.A. Dog!
DDH it is all very easy to remedy and less concern than you think. for your bike the 2004-2006 FLHT 70t 1-1.8" wide pulley is a direct bolt on (2000-2006 Dyna and Softail 70t pulleys also are a direct fit). I would use a 3/16" offset spacer between the pulley and wheel (which is common to do when running wider tires to keep the belt away from tire). you have stock 32/66 pulleys which was the "break year", 2007, when HD smacked down the tall belt pulley ratios on all softail / dyna bikes for stricter noise compliance. prior to 2007 bikes were geared more for performance off the showroom floor with 32/70 pulleys. in 2009 (maybe 2010) HD conceded a bit and put 68t pulleys on all touring bikes to add a bit of pep back- not much though.
Essentially everything in the gear ratio diy thread pertains to you and will help with the upgrade, including the front 30t pulley off a 2001 tri-glide.
A 68t sportster pulley (2011 xl1200 to present) is also a direct bolt on and no offset spacer will be needed. For your bike I'd recommend the 30/68 pulleys for an almost 10% ratio improvement - you'll absolutely flip a gasket with how much more usable range you get out of the gearing, and you will not lose any mpg.
you could of course do the 32/70, which is also rather decent at about 6.7% improvement- and you have a ton of torque at your disposal anyway. 6th would feel a lot peppier than it does now. you'll be shifting less in slow turns and able to ride 2nd/3rd lower without lugging. Since you have the 133t belt the 70t will just fit. all you need to check is that you have at least .61" (roughly 5/8") of forward available axle slot adjustment. A lot of guys with the 133t belt have almost 3/4" available so hopefully yours is same or close. if you do not have at least .61" then you would have to do 30t front and 68t or 70t rear. all of these mods are designed to work with the stock length belt.
hope it helps.

Reason: added info
So, I finally finished getting my bike back together tonight...or at least together enough that I thought it'd be a good idea to flash my ECM with the tune I got from Fuel Moto on my new Power Vision.
Well, the thing appears to be bricked. I installed the software onto my PC, waited for all the drivers and whatnot to install and I plugged it in via USB. Here is what I get:
That's ALL I get. I've tried restarting my computer...no luck. I've tried plugging it into the bike...no luck. I've tried using the "RecoveryTool.exe" and nothing even opens on my computer. I can't seem to find any info on this issue.
Anyone have any insight before I call Fuel Moto Monday morning?
I saw that post last night but when I clicked the link it was a bunch of random text. Thought it was just an old link. Then I re-read it today after you linked me to it and realized I needed to right click and save as.
PV has been wiped but it is up and running now, just need to get my tune back from Fuel Moto as it was locked up from the get go before I could ever backup what they sent it to me with. Thanks again for the help!
