Hi Guys

I'm Brazilian rider.

I am starting this forum to change information, experiences and tips.
I own a softail Fat Boy since 2009.
My first H-D was a Sportster 883 in 1995.
I made some changes to my bike and am very happy with it.
Check out the video below and some pictures of her.
The video shows my bike injected with Idle Control, staying below 700 rpm.

This is a device developed by a good friend and I'm intending to bring to USA.
If someone wants to know more about this device, e-mail me.
Tks

Correct me if I'm wrong....
aren't you going to have oiling issues at such a low rpm?

You never leave your bike stop idling for long time, maybe five minutes, because when you're riding, the rotation is above 1100 rpm.
Starting it up the rotation for 1100, when hot, down to 700rpm.
There are two buttons which can increase or decrease the rotation as I want.
You control how you want.
See this video:

Unfortunately in our injected does not have the wonderful sound of a real Harley, this device than you get that sound.
A year ago I have this Idle Control on my bike and never had any problems.
