Ahhh, Thanks. Is there a speed limiter in 6th gear?

I had a 17 FLHTK for 24 hours. Suspension is greatly improved compared to my 13 stock but after some changes my bike handles as good or better. I'm surprised it took Harley this long to wake up and finally roll a touring bike out of the showroom that could take a bump correctly. What cracks me up is I told the dealer how unhappy I was with my stock suspension back in April of 13. Their response was that they didn't understand my frustration. They thought the bike road fine. Now they won't shut up about how great the improvements are and how badly they were needed.

So is the bike limited to 107mph even in 6th gear?

I'd love to see a new cal that FM has been working on. Post it up. Same company that told me they work closely with DJ to rewrite the code so TT to work. Then a VP from DJ came on and stated it wasn't changed and was the same development code it always was.

Drama? Kind of like me stating I am a technical consultant for TTS because I get to beta test some of their new products. Or we can just realize that the tuning world is small and a lot of different shops out there do this for different tuner manufactures. No reason to break my arm patting myself on the back with fancy labels.

By the way. TTS is taking care of speed limit in the code. Not unplugging the VSS. I don't know if this is considered light years but I would call it a more advanced way of properly doing things that will actually help the end user.

Is that new to 2017? I haven't noticed this restriction on my '16. Not that I get that fast regularly (like, ONCE), but still...

Give it up man. We know you and Steve and TTS are great guys and sell great products.

I won't be buying any of it though because of these posts where you're obviously taking pot shots at your competitor.

Maybe start your own thread. Get a following going. No need to tear someone down. It doesn't build you up. Makes you look bad actually...

Furthermore Jamie and team removed the VSS just to test as they were curious. It's not a final solution.

So thanks.

Yup gotta agree. Making yourself look like a turd does not bring in customers. Plus I can't even tell time in Light years, so that doesn't help me one bit...

Note I unplugged the VSS as a quick, simple test on the completely stock 17 M8 bike, a test we did upon having the bike in our possession less than 24 hours, 48 hours after the new platform was released to market. Once flashed with PV we removed the speed limiter & other restrictions thru the calibration as normal. Unplugging the VSS was essentially a quick & dirty test.

There are about 30 dealers & tuning shops running Power Vision on 2017 M8 bikes now, as i've offered before any tuning shops that have a M8 bike in their posession they would like to tune with PV are welcome to contact me and i will get them everything they need, otherwise the public release is expected in around the end of Sept and everyone will be able to see whats in there.
