4,200 miles in 7 months. No issues. At the same time I put about 7,000 miles on the TriGlide.

Long story short, it had engine issues that caused me to walk away from it.

My good friend Harley mechanic removed the Powervision, reflashed the computer and installed a Harley Tuner. With the Powervision I was getting 29-30 mpg (mix driving), the bike with the Powervision (license) was riding okay. Now that he re-tuned with a HD tuner (done in Winter and used 2 tanks of gas), I am getting 30-31 mpg. My buddy want to wait until Spring and the gasoline changes to the Summer blend to tweak the tuner. In my opinion, the bike now with the HD tuner motor sounds better. I know everyone does have their opinion between HD tuner or PW.
