thanks for that info Parabellum, I will definately talk to Nightrider about that. After more reading I am leaning towards the Vied instead of the Xied, but I will contact them and get their direct opinion.

 

I've considered it, but the cost of replacing the pulley for the gain of dropping 400 RPM through the gears doesn't seem worth it.

Plus those that have done it have reported no gain to mileage, but a loss on the lower end.

 

Thanks for all the Great Replies.

 

Gearing....change your gearing.

Lower = faster acceration, limited top speed.
Higher = greater top speed.

Nitrious...that's you bang for the buck (until you empty the tank).

Else you know the ritual....1250 kit, cams, titanium rods, intake, computer tunes, header....thousands of dollars.

Or trade up to 1200.

 

If you like the look of the Iron trading up is not an option as you probably know. I bought my Iron new knowing right from the beginning I would be converting it. Nightsters are nice but they still do not look like a Iron and the look of the Iron is what I wanted.

 

After doing a lot more reading on this forum, I am now leaning towards installing a Power Commander V after I have my SE 1200 conversion done (also SE slip ons and SE stage 1 AC, stock xl1200 efi download). I do intend on putting the bike on the dyno eventually, but I am not sure if I will be able to afford it right away so I may want to ride it a few months without the dyno time.

My question is: can the PCV be used without dyno time and will it run okay, until I am ready to pay for the dyno? I was going to order and install the PCV myself.

 

Could you be a little bit more specific on the MPG you had before and have after the upgrades?

 

i have a newb question. if i throw vance and hines short shots ( love the way they look) on my bike, to i have to buy anything else to install with it?

 

no it comes in the package all you need to install...as long as a brand new VH. I installed mine in about a hour and half i will say close to 2 hrs that included donwtime.

 

exactly what i meant^ thanks....now wondering how much all of this is going to cost...hmmm haha
