You are getting a hard time from the forum because what you are saying is wacko. The ECM (electronic or engine control module) has direct control over the rev limit. it is the on board computer for your bike. even if there was a way to easily bypass this limit, you are risking engine destruction. the rev limit is there for a reason.

If you hang around the forum for any length of time, you will realize that there is a lot of knowledge here. if there was a mod that involved just switching one wire to gain power without destroying the engine, these folks would have been all over it a long time ago. I think your friend might be blowing smoke up your rear end or you are misunderstanding the mod that he performed

A 2001 doesn't have a Rev limiter. Thus it will Rev higher and make more power. BUT I run the risk of blowing the heads. So if you do unplug either the lower or higher stage of the limiter on a newer bike you could cause similar damage.
I think we all understand the risks.

2001's should have a limiter. OEM did, and I'm not currently aware of an aftermarket module that does away with one completely.

I don't think this guy understands you can't simply unplug something to change the rev limiter. And older sportsters do have rev limiter. They can be changed with a chip. And just because it revs higher doesn't mean it makes more power. It just means you're wasting time revving the motor instead of shifting while still in the powerband and accelerating quicker.
