Default AFR Gauge

Anyone have one of these on their bike?

Ever used or installed one? Seems like it would be real handy on a carbed bike.

no, but why would you want one? once your set for afr you should be good to go. If you want the afr to be constant setting then get a Thundermax with auto tune and their speedometer with the afr and hp and tq and rpm and speed. this meter only checks one cylinder. I guess if your carburetor it would be ok but you would be better off to pay for a dyno tune and they will rejet the carb.

I use an AFR gauge. Love it. Gives you an inside look to your engines tune. If you make changes to your engine, you can change the tune easily. I use it with powercommander usb3. Easy to customize map for power, mpg.

I ran the ThunderMax Digital Speedo for a while.... It was more of a novelty than anything else... now granted I have an EFI bike...
I would tend to agree with tk353 about getting it tuned...
but then if your like me and like to tinker.... well that's another story!

I was thinking of this one, I like to play with the fuel control a little. A little expencive but works real good. Yes I know a thundermax does it too but takes all the fun out of it

It's more of a tuning tool than just a AFR meter. just like tuning on a dyno, thats why I said the Thundermax does the same and adjusts automaticly. A friend just installed a t-max on his fatboy and loves it. When I get tired of playing around with maps and stuff, I'll get one too
