WTF? I would demand it by Friday if it's at the dealership. BTW congrats on the new bike and welcome to the cool kids club.

If my new bike was at the dealer, and I had paid for it, and there is two full working days until the weekend, I would tell them to get off thier *** and get it ready or give my money back.
When I was buying mine the first dealer I was working with had this attitude like they were doing me a favor selling me a bike..walked out, went to the next dealer.

BTW, what VH pipes allow you to still have the passenger pegs. I see some (like the 2-into-1) cover the foot peg spot. I believe the 2-into-2 and the short shots work. Do any others?

Really? I rode away with mine after I signed the papers. Why do they need two days?

Tuesday is a lot of time away.. I signed my papers, then had to pick it up the next business day (i bought it on a friday); mostly because mine was literally just off the delivery truck so they had to assemble her and take her for the test run and such before I could take it home..but still, i had her on the following monday

Wow, this thread has been surprisingly quiet for the last week. Weird.
I have Rush 1.5" slip-on on my 2012. Did not want to spend the bigger bucks right off the bat. I get a little decal popping. Was going to wait till I save up and get AC, PV and VH 2-into-2s. But I was just thinking, if Fuelmoto will give me a good deal on the AC and PV, I could get that now and get it tuned for the slip-ons and then get a different map later when I get new pipes.
Sound like a good plan?

With the Auto Tune WB O2 sensors you log the actual air movement in and exhaust out of the engine, and spark curves (among a LOT of other ECU parameters). Your map is absolutely custom to your bike. You do it under your normal riding conditions instead of in the vacuum of a dyno room. A canned map will never quite be right for your bike, might be close, but not custom to YOUR bike. Every engine breathes different, even given identical ac/exhaust/cams.
With PV/AT you'll be able to update your own tune if you decide to change a component in the future. Oh, and if you think you'll be 'done' making changes at some point, think again. I started with Rush slip-ons, I'm now on my 5th exhaust setup, and 3rd AC setup and 2nd cam setup.
Some of us are never satisfied.

Problem with tuners is there are so many option and everyone has there idea what's the best... I have PCV and I've been kicking around with getting either a auto tuner for it jumping on PV or heading over to a thundermax,I've heard so many ups and downs on both units and I do beleive that the PV is a good unit but either somebody told me or I read it Somewhere but the thundermax does a little better adjusting fuel trim when riding from sea level to up in the mountains which is what I do 90 percent of the time, I know someone a little more knolagefull on this subject may chim in and I welcome the info
