Thanks for all the replies guys. I just called Jamie and ordered the 4" Jackpots (slash up), Power Vision and A/C kit. Less than $950 out the door. He said I'd have it by Thursday. I'll get it installed this weekend and see what happens.

FYI - I called my dealer and was told that a stage 1 would cost me $1950 for comparable stuff. That's crazy. He did say that my warranty would still be good if I got aftermarket parts. So, that's good I guess.

I just hope this works.

It's done. Received the stage 1 kit from Jamie at Fuelmoto and installed it on Saturday. It was an easy installed and took about 3 hours from start to finish - and I took my time doing it. The Jackpots look and sound nice (just need to get used to the little louder pipe but I think I'll be OK), air intake was easy to install and I'm glad I could keep my stock cover and the PV was no problem after I realized my kill switch wasn't turned to the on position ( was a little concerned for a bit). I wasn't too bright at that moment. I mounted the PV to my left handlebar and ran the wire through the fairing and down the backbone of the frame in the wiring channel. Loaded the tune Fuelmoto installed on the PV and took off. No problems on Saturday. On Sunday I put about 140 miles on trying to get the bike to ping and I haven't been able to yet. Finger cross - maybe my ping issue is fixed. The bike doesn't seem as sluggish now. It almost feels "looser". So far I'm happy and if the ping doesn't come back I'll be elated.

In 2 weeks I leave the trip and that should tell the tale.

By the way - does anyone know how to change the lettering on the PV while in data logging to black so it's a bit easier to see? Right now my lettering is white and for some reason I can't seem to find a spot to change it.

Should feel loose, i know what you mean... i just did the Fullsac true dual kit and it feel even looser than before...Just breathing better and responding like it should...wait until you do cams....I went from a PCIII to a PCV and a dyno tune just because i won an auction for $200.00 for the whole kit n caboodle...I will get a auto tune unit later....
Call Dynojet, they will help you witht he screen if it's changeable....

Do ppl usually leave their PV mounted on the bike?

Congrats! Are you going to get the Fuel Moto 2/1/2 header pipe?

I don't think everyone leaves it mounted to the bike but I think quite a few do. It's a great way of getting real-time information.

I don't know if or when I'll change the header. My first issue was to get rid of the ping. That's done so I'm gonna spend the rest of the summer riding rather than working on the bike. I'll see what next summer brings.
