Interesting!

It's too bad you aren't in the Florida area. I'd introduce ya to Doc who would get your bike running like a beast while letting you watch and taking it step-by-step showing you what he is doing and explaining it out for you. I've never seen someone tune so meticulously as Doc! Every single field on the VE tables were white for both cylinders!!

As an engineer with a background in vehicle data acquisition, I would absolutely LOVE that.

I used to work for a small company that makes a rugged data acquisition computer that Harley Davidson has used for over a dozen years. We had a fatboy in our shop for many years that was on loan from the MoCo that we tested new configurations on, and HD has one of our rigs on display at the museum in Milwaukee.

Save that 3300 for the Bagger because you will spend the money and than shortly after doing the conversion you will buy the Bagger. If you are wanting one just save the scratch for it.
