Love it.
We have a lot to play with here…
You do know that I have my own motorcycle dyno now right?

That is a pretty intense quest, sort of like asking a Catalina 36 to perform like a J109. Just not built to do it, but it's your bike, so go head on! I modded the exhaust and intake on the Kawi Vulcan 1500 I used to have, using only what I had in my garage, which is nowhere near as nice as your set up, so have fun!

What happened to this guy?
Makes an interesting first post...gets responses from fellow like minded people (and some not so much) but never comes back....

Like the guy asking about his meters fading out. Asks a question then never comes back.

He was on the forum at 10:54 am this morning? Maybe he's the shy type lol

Meters fading...eh, maybe he said screw it and bought new ones- or used on Ebay.
I can see where delving into electronics is intimidating to most.
Performance though? Simple in comparison and multifaceted in it's approach.
So- Mike isn't / wasn't 'shy'- he knew the avenues to attack - and knew there would be nannies here to poo poo on his quest.
Did he just decide to go it alone?
Did he decide to not participate here because for some odd reason this is an 'anti' performance friendly place?
I'd assume he is still alive. I'd assume he still has the bike.
But things like this-

Are off putting.
Especially as these bikes age- they are going to be bought by younger people who may not have been able to afford them new...heck, may not have had their license a decade ago.... but want to play.
Relegating what is a true UJM to 'not built for that' is both ignorant and insulting to both to the heritage of what these bikes were 45-50 years ago and what THEY STILL ARE NOW- and the people that WANT TO MAKE IT THEIR OWN WAY- Universal.
Personally that B.S. old man mindset pi**es me off MUCH more than saying a word that is banned here= but can be heard everywhere else, tv, movies, on any street, at any store...
Come back Mike!! We need more motorheads here! It's a F-ING MOTORCYCLE after all- not a beige Camry.

Its a 2014. sorry for my radio silence. I set it up to email me when or if someone responded to the thread and I never got any so I assumed nobody said anything haha. I have to clear that up with a few people now so I don't look like a d nozzle.

Glad your back.
If you want performance, there are a few of us here.
Mine is a 2014 as well.
