Well I expected not to be running open loop 100% of the time.
I expected my afr table to not be flat (which makes sense kinda if your in open loop).
Sort of expected to get values that people don't say "that tunes ****"

i wouldn't worry about "people". see what explanation the shop give you for their decisions on your tune.

Yes and No...Id love to have one and think they're neat, I don't think however, it would look good with the small front rim and fat tire of the 48.

Id like to see photos of another 48 running one first to see if I like it.

That's the second Iron I've seen with the Roadster seat. I think it looks great.
I like the other mods too - classy looking bike.

I wasn't riding my 72 this year as I was nearly positive that I was going to sell it as a down payment for a FXDLS. I test rode the FXDLS (and a Street Bob) this past weekend and when I hopped back on my 72, I re-realized how much I really like it.

I just decided that it will need a little more power, so I installed the stage 1 AC I had hanging around for a year and will tune w/ a Power Vision. Once it's got some more pep, I'll take a look at upgrading brakes and suspension.

The $$ I didn't spend on the FXDLS went toward the purchase of a '91 FXDB-S (Sturgis).
