It gets sideways pretty easy http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ideoid=2281419
-- actually without trying -- still trying to perfect the clutch induced wheelie on the rg -- seems it was easier to do on the sg.

I am a fan of hqs motors and kevin is an excellent tuner.
dayum!!! :d

these guys are friends of mine -- they have competitions on who can get their bike sideways http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=44679003 this is Nasty -- they call him that because he never cleans his bike the guy on the Road King is Big Mannie -- he is the wheelie king http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBAUl...layer_embedded

I think the 103 was quicker off the line but the 107 would catch up pretty quit and definetly beat it on the top end

Lyn~ the difference in the 103/107 has gotta be getting the tune dialed in "just right".

I may have to find me a beater crotch-rocket. Those videos bring back memories....

Phil it's either the tune or the throttle by wire -- which I hate -- still got to practice my wheelies -- I have not got it down yet and weather have been very cold here-- I can get it up 6 - 8 inches but getting it sideways is not a problem -- of course I do not condone this type of riding--but my twin does--with the auto tune I have not put it on the Dyno -- but I may have to

Sick. I got my stocker sideways once. My first ride after the bike sat for a year. It didn't run well with the old gas, even with lots of Stabil in it. I had to goose it sometimes to keep it from dying. I just happened to do it hard once right as I took off. I left a cool stripe down my neighboorhood road!

I didn't even think about that!

You are EXACTLY right! You need either a TTS or one of the new HD SuperTuners to "fix" the nonlinear relationship between the throttle pot and the blade in the TB.

THere is a setting called (something like) "throttle progrestivity" that can be tweaked to make them linear ~ meaning "it's just like a cable".

I plumb forgot you were dealing w/FBW.

The build we are doing this weekend is an 08, so it has the same issue. In fact, GliderXXX bought a TTS to replace his existing SERT to fix this very problem.
