Just strapped a used PCiii onto my bike w/ D&D cans already in place.
It came with the WK smooth map on it.
At startup, I didn't hear any difference at all.
Then I loaded Mark Johnson's map for D&D's.
Oh SNAP!! Damn. The change was instant, and on the run.
It was like she had been clearing her throat and finally decided to sing.
Rmble, rmble, bmble, bmble.... vRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Peak exhaust volume dropped a couple decibels.
Two snaps up with a twist! :yahoo: I didn't expect anything that dramatic.
You don't need a dyno run to hear the difference just at idle.
A wet test ride confirmed it. The Feej has been hitt'n the gym.
Thanks to Mark for sharing your map and cool web site.
With the D&Ds, the "D&D map" is much better than Wally's in low rpms.
Although I can still get some burbling on hard decel, it has been significantly reduced.
Maybe there's room for improvement to personalize the map to my bike.
No info on mileage yet, but it hardly matters as long as it is not horrible.

Regardless of power gains, putting on the D&D's made the FJR sound like an authoritative and growling machine.
Add the PC to that and now it sounds like a well lubricated, high precision authoritative snarling machine.
56 degrees and sunny on Sunday. :good:
Time to put a comma on an exit.
CONCLUSION:
I doubt I could justify just a power commander for a stock 03-05.
I always thought the fuel injection with the Barbarian mode was perfect.
But combining it with aftermarket pipes, makes the difference.
Pipes alone. ehhhhh. just louder, no harm done, but a waste of money.
PC alone. ehhhhh. if it aint broke why are you fixing it.
Pipes + PC. Ya baby!!
