Default Hola

Hey I am from Panama, Panama.

Not a big guy so got myself a 2007 883. I am in the US right now and the previous owner had installed performance filter and s&s exhaust, but it really runs like crap . . .

Have a chinese 200cc bike to run errands but not good for long distances.

I have been recommended to use Technoresearch DirectLink flash, is that something I can do or a shop has to do.

thanks and hope to learn a lot here

Welcome from the Sunshine State. I was in Panama a few years back; you sir are one brave man to ride a motorcyle there.

Thanks, but, it ain't that bad . . . One might need to be a little crazy, but, is doable . . .

Thanks for the welcome all .. ..

I am a total newbie to HD bikes, I come from Japanese Enduro or 125cc "messenger" bikes and my 200cc chinise Motard style thing . . .

Can someone show me to the right place to ask this? Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the directlink is good, need to do something with the bike while in the US before shipping to Panama . . .
