Smooth Power Everywhere II

[dave]

I didn't want to hijack Vic's great thread so I started another.

I also added a PCV to my bike.

I'm running the stock MAP on the Power Commander. No auto tune.

Idle is 1100 rpm. Just like Vic's bike, no hesitation, no jerky response, smooth accel from low revs right up to redline. And the bike has had a few performance mods - TSR air funnel, K&N filter, MotoGear headers and Staintune. Pretty darn amazing.

The only thing different I've noticed, besides wrist bending performance when the throttle is exercised, is an occasional single mild pop between gears when upshifting at a leisurely pace. Any idea what's causes this - besides the fact that the PCV is running a stock MAP? Lean, rich?

Other than that, it's the same well mannered power plant, comfortable cruising around at 2500 rpm in 5th gear with plenty of power going up hills.

Hi CB4ME, great-looking bike! I'm waiting to accept delivery on my 2014 Deluxe, but I would like to ask you about your fairing, and luggage-rack / sissy bar because these are two options I intend to install on my bike. What brand of fairing is this? Is that a Honda rack that you modified by attaching the sissy bar to like was shown in a different thread in this forum? Do you have the sissy bar because of a passenger? If yes, can you please comment on your passenger's comfort while riding with you? Thank you.
