the LS step up with gel is excellent compared to stock, especially when you are OTG. it offers superior lower back support, firmer than stock no fatigue after a long day. position is about the same, the TR may feel a bit higher initially some have mentioned. passenger gel option has been received well. excellent quality.

I'm curious where you all ended up with your preload adjustment.
I'm at 3.5 on preload with a weight of 180lbs. in gear. I matched it to how the forks felt. Both ends react the same now.

Hi All,
Just got our New fatbob back on the road after getting a custom lowered shock made to lower it 1" 1/2 and dropped the forks though an extra 1/2". Its for the wife who is only 5 foot 2. Now has a softer spring and uses same preload adjuster. Also fitted a tail tidy, removed the cats from headers and drilled the street cannons out. We fitted a Power vision from Fuel Moto as well. Have a Question regarding auto tune. How many tunes and how long for each to get it nearly right before I send back to Fuel Moto? Anyway heres a couple of pics so far.

Question for those running a Fuel Moto tuned Power Vision on a FB 114 with just slip on's.........was the pre-loaded tune that FM installed into the PV named "stock improved"?

Stock improved is the tune for stock pipes and air filter.

I downloaded mine for the slip-ons from Dynojet directly. (Should be same as the one from Fuel Moto)

Here is the link.http://www.dynojet.com/powervision/p...ion-tunes.aspx

Just fill in the year model etc. and you will find 3 tunes available for the 114 and 2 for the 107

Couple of auto tune sessions and you're good to go. Must say my bike ran better with just the downloaded tune before auto tuning.

I have added that tune to PV. Thing is I can't enable Auto Tune nor Quick Tune. It's asking for a dealer license and is locking me out of those 2 features. I have an email into Fuel Moto.

I compared the Fuel Moto "stock enhanced" tune and the DynoJet "stock intake/S&S Slip on's" tune in WinPV. Quite a difference. I'll be installing the DynoJet tune to see how it helps. I have a feeling FM may have made a mistake with my PV before shipment.

I bought the mustang seat and pillion. It's really comfy and looks pretty decent on the bike. The great thing is you can take the passenger seat off and it looks like a bobber saddle. Really comfortable pillion. Passengers have loved it. With the sissy bar, there's so much more room, passengers can lean back which gives you so much more space. I've loved it so far and feel it is well worth the cash.
