Why is your amigo putting a tuner on that Slim? Having issues? Just curious...

Jack, she changed the pipes to V&H Big Radius (Can't remember exactly but pictured below) and was told by the HD dealership she needed a tuner. My buddy also thought it was running kinda off with those pipes

SIL said he really didn't care but i can't do that. So i bought my own without investing a bunch of money,got a pretty good deal on it for $2900
You stole it Al. What brand?

Bike is identical to Baby Dolls except she has apes. She has the same pipes and her bike with the 110" runs like a raped ape. I've been in it and over it and hers has nary a twitch, except trying to keep the front wheel on the ground thru the first couple of gears, and I weigh 235. Wonder if the altitude makes a diff?

Hell, if the tuner makes a difference I would throw one on her bike and try it, but it's really too much for her 110 lb *** now...

Wow, I can't imagine that power with that light of a driver.

Altitude might make a difference. My buddy did notice it was running different with the new pipes. I think they said lean but not sure. He still cusses at her bike from time to time. His first bike was a Shovelhead and did not have all this fancy electronic stuff

This was her chromed out Slim, which I chromed out for her birthday. Harley Davidson wanted $3,500 to do the chrome upgrade. I bought every of that motor in chrome at Freedom Cycles in Micks town for $1,100 and did the work myself.....

Baby Doll, and chicks in general look good on a Slim...

I have an FP3 on my bike Jack. It doesn't flip a switch on untapped power. It just allows for fuel enrichment and a few tweaks. I honestly can't tell much of a difference before and after. More of a piece of mind thing.

Hey Jack, Bob, Markus
Gotta tell you on a stage 1 Fugly, my Power Vision from DynoJet make a seat-of-the-pants noticeable difference, especially on the lower end. Runs way cooler too.

WTH, we're talking motorcycle sh*t on the TOAK ????

LOL - Have a great day men. Off to the gun shop.
