I have the single unit and switch the O2 sensor back and forth. Its not that hard and once you get the LM2 set up changes are quit easy. Just take a laptop to the track with ya.

Still working on my maps. I just figured out that I had some settings wrong in the LM2 and the TP voltage was recording double. I have it figured out now and maps next season should be much easier.

Only my second time at the track. (Ron750 - No, I have never run any other bike than this up the strip.)

I have been tuning it myself with the SEPST, thru seat of the pants. I had a dyno run a few years back and used the AFRs from that, combines with some maps I got from a helper via this forum. Since then I ahve been gradually changing things and logging to see if it works.

The Twinscan is designed to work with the SPEST and automatically works out the new VEs.

The LM2 looks good, and would be useful for my LS1 V8 powered holden. Decisions decisions.....

Default Really COOL!

Been running the Bobber that i built 3 years ago at the track, best time so far has been 11.63. this year been running 13.0 give or take .1!

Having the time of my life!

Know what you mean, there is a lot more of work to turn a good time on two wheels.

Here is a video of me running 13.11 @ T&O All Bike Drags.

And an other of me running a 12.93 @ SRCA's Reg. AHDRA Races. Ended up with 3rd place in SEP and 2nd in ET Class. Nice trophy and some good money!

My advice to you all, go out to your local track, pay the fee and RUN for FUN!

Garruntee you will have the time of your life. Talk a few freinds to come out and it will be better yet.

Drop me a line and I will give you a few esay pointers that were sent my way, they should drop 1 second of of your times if you are a newby!

Thats awesome! I try to go to the drag strip at least twice a year. My Wide glide has a 107" motor and a 34hp shot of nitrous. My best time was a 11.48 @ 120mph I know I can get my times down around 11.0-11.2 or so....Just gotta practice. What were your 60ft times?
