Power Commander on the Harley

Well a very special friend sure did surprise me last week. Came home after work, saw a brown box at the door step, saw the address and was like hmm. Opened it up and about fell over in shock.

Inside the box was a Dyno Jet Power Commander for my 08 Electra-glide Harley. I opened it up, loaded the program onto my computer and was like WOW. Got a bit nervous with the ability this thing has. So being a bit nervous and not wanting to granade the bike, he sent me a MAP with the upgrades I have done. Installed the MAP and then got the commander on the bike. Instantly felt a drastic difference in reduction of vibration of the motor, smooth acceleration, increased top end and noticable increase on mileage!

I still can't thank him enough for what he did and still in disbelief on what had happened to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (you know who you are )

08 Harley Electra Glide Classic
Vance and Hines True Duals
Screaming Eagle Slip Ons
Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage II (installed last night)
Street Glide Mirrors
Klock Werx windscreen

Will post pics soon when I get my laptop back to be able to down load the camera.

I bought a used 2006 Heritage it has the Thundermax programmer on it. It really wakes it up.

Hey Lary - Chris can make a 2-1/2 hour trip one way down south to visit this friend, I am at least not on his hairy legged list like the rest of you guys. And I know, if I keep it up I'll make someone's ignore list . .


Friends take care of friends, eh Chris??

Oh and by the way Chris . . you have to QUIT talking that HARLEY STUFF . . bad enough that I have the DODGE MONEY PIT with it's own special checking account . . How do you suppose a HARLEY and it's accound would go down at my place????
