I rode my RK to work today for the first time and got it all dirty because the roads were so greasy today.

Finished up my autotune ride with the FP3 and installed the Defiance Ventilator Air Cleaner Trim to replace the screaming eagle badge.

Looks to me that your Defiance Air Cleaner trim definitely blocked off a large amount of filter area reducing your air flow. Did you do your Auto tunes with that installed or before?

after getting the bike with the stage 1 kit I've only done a few things to her: custom dynamics LED turn signals front/rear, kuryakyn grips with throttle boss (love them) and installed a "backoff" brake flasher module.

this weekend is a long weekend although it calls for snow on Sat so I might as well do some other things.
- swap out SE cannons for V&H eliminators (to see if it makes a huge difference in sound) otherwise I'll keep as is and return them.
- install the Sena Freewire module (first install HD 7 pin connector from back of boom audio unit, route wire to the same storage pod that contains the iphone connector, then connect and store the freewire right next to it) keeps everything clean and hidden.
- install Hogworkz halomaker LED headlight
- install rider quick release backrest mount to be used with stock seat
- install highway pegs (but only if it looks good on the chopped engine guard)

that should keep me busy for a few hours.

Good Catch! Lucky, or unlucky, for me I didnt flash to the map on my last auto tune but instead stopped the auto tune! Long Story but the short version is I have to run Auto Tune again anyway!
Thanks for bring that to my attention!

78 degrees 63% humidity and a completed stage 1 tune! Needless to say... 228 more miles added to the M8 today!
