Just made a discovery that turned my stomach.

I purchased my bike slightly used with about 1k miles on it and got one heck of a deal.

I installed a power vision tuner, cams, did head work and had it dyno tuned.

Today when looking at the pics I posted, I noticed a RC Xcelerator by the battery compartment.

I wonder if that messed with my tune when he did it. I definitely will have to remove it and see what kind of effect it makes and take her to a dyno and do a follow up run.

Looks good! I would have been a nervous wreck putting that oil tank back in there...it's a tight fit!

Who's doing the work, if you don't mind?

When I was putting my rocker back together after the paint job I completely covered the oil tank in painter's tape and had my buddy help me. An extra set of hands made all the difference in the world when it came to not scratching it.

And yes, I was a nervous mess while installing it lololol

Really looking good, thanks for the preview.


Question: Looks like you added a lot of the CVO parts too. How did you come up with the parts list for all of the lower controls? I built a list based on the CVO schematics from Ronnie's OEM parts finder but I'm sure I'm missing stuff.


Thanks
