The O2 is upstream of the cat so won't have an effect.

Hi Mr. Canoefead, Yeah, Roger did much with his GS911 with his Motronic 2.4. A GS911 won't tell me much about my bike with the older 2.2 Motronic. With the realtime recording you get with the LC-2 you can easily tell when the ECU goes closed loop plus other interesting things. I'm...

"So, you will be installing the wideband O2 sensor in a new port and leaving the stock O2 sensor in place?" Nope, will replace narrowband with wideband. That's where the LC-2 comes in as it sends an analog signal from the wideband to the ECU and the ECU will simply richen or lean out the...

Ordered an innovate Motor Sports LC-2 controller with wideband O2 sensor today from Amazon. With this system I'll be able to program virtually any AFR for closed loop operation and I will be able to observe what happens in real time and save it as a chart recording on my laptop. I think the...

Finally got around to the unauthorized TB sync using my two port harmonizer. First I noted that the air bypass adjustments were the same (out 3/4 turns from seated) on C1,3 and C4 with C-2 out 1/2 turn. After seating all 4 bypass screws I proceeded with throttle plate adjustments using a Go...

"Then I would go to the saddle. The RDL is an excellent choice for you, especially coming from the cruiser market. Russel builds a saddle that is customized for your *** and you do NOT move. If you are interested in learning to shift your weight around in the twisties, consider the Seth Laam...

Yeah, with it in 3rd gear just roll on the throttle and look out or should I say hold on and look out because she gets under way as in RIGHT NOW! I've had mine to 135 mph over in Eastern Oregon and that made a believer out of me. 135 wasn't even close to what she'll do but I don't want to go...

Well, the FJR is so powerful with plenty of torque I found I work the shifter much less and the bike doesn't mind at all being short shifted at around 3K RPM. The FJR is so smooth that in the beginning I found myself forgetting to down shift when coming to a stop. I found my 2010 1300A last...

One more comment and I'll shut up. I did take the fork brace off and went for a test ride. I think I could detect a slight tendency to steering wobble or wander slightly. The slight wobble seemed to happen when running over pavement irregularities and would immediately die out without...

Can't imagine the flexing could be much with the standard forks. I agree with your analysis of increased stiction caused by the machining of the fork brace. I've been thinking about this since I wasted my money on the fork brace so I removed mine this afternoon. I don't think anything that...

Hi Fred, I wonder if a fork brace would make the two configurations perform more similar? Also, there is only 6" between the lower triple tree clamp and the lower (outer) fork tube in the standard fork so I can't see that the standard fork will experience flexing anymore than the upside down...

I've always kind of thought the upside down forks don't in reality perform any differently than standard. They do look sort of cool but functionally? I have my doubts.

I googled "barbarian jumper mod on generation one FJR1300" and it looks like it will work on your '05 and appears to be the same connector pin as well.

I don't know about your '05 but on my 2010 (acquired last June) the modification certainly was worth it. All my CO numbers were set at zero from the factory. I found that +10 on all four smoothed out idle and greatly reduced slow speed surging. Hope it works for you. Oh, only a very slight...

I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to get a squirt bottle and keep it filled with hydrogen peroxide and soak down the front of the radiator before washing the bike. Just let the hydrogen peroxide do its thing for 15 or 20 minutes. Might keep the insect nasty from building up and wouldn't...

lol..lol..You and me both

Well...if it don't go chrome it and HD don't go that's for sure.

"Harley makes some nice bikes." Yeah right!

I've never owned a Harley nor have I ever wanted to. I have never understood the appeal and I doubt I ever will. Surprising and too bad BMW declined interest.

Just read a thread on another forum about HD making a bid to buy Ducati from VW. If true I wonder if HD might learn how to shed some weight, probably not.
