Hey Spirit,

Here's the bike Mike was talkin about. I've lowered it 1 1/4 in front and back, installed Rinehart True Duals, installed numerous Skull series stuff from Harley, Laydown License bracket, black windscreen (very short), Kuryakyn Panacea LED Deluxe Taillight and turn signals. It has the 95 c.i. motor with 203 cams.

This winter I am installing the Race Tuner, Hogtune speakers and installing the antenna inside the fairing.

You can really make these bikes look cool. I really love it.

Terry

Why the race tuner vs. PC? I know there's a lot of discussion between both, and it's pretty confusing.

Gregory,

The Race Tuner seems to work better on the newer bikes. You have many more tuning options and you can work out ALL the bugs, such as popping and coughing. I've seen good harley mechanics download a custom map, tweek it a little and run it right out of the shop. Most will want to dyno tune it to get the best performance.

I had a Power Commander on my bike and tuning was hard (I have the older fuel injection). The race tuner just became an option for my bike this year. My dealer actually called me and told me thay harley had finally come out with a version for my bike. Just couldn't get all the bugs worked out with the power commander.
