No patience for competitors going on to a page to trumpet their own stuff and put down the OP. Good way to lose business, particularly mine.

Act like a man.

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.
Yeah this doesn't make want to even check out TTS. Keep up the great work FM.

Jamie....still havent heard if the dealers are going to know if we flashed the ECM with the Power Vision and put the stock tune back in if we need warranty work. Could you please give us users an answer if you know. I think its a very important thing to be aware of considering the ramifications if they do. Id hate to have to go back for warranty work and get told to bad.

I'm not knocking the M8 - it IS an improvement. I just didn't find it as night and day as some.

My full take - https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-rgs-take.html
Same here and the handling was not that much better than the rushmores. heck the rear are just the same old premium shocks lol

And for what most are paying for the 107 you can mod a Rushmore with cams and suspension cheaper

I don't agree, I've had a couple modified Rushmores and secondly, this one is great out of the box.. No need to spend $28K on a motorcycle then a couple more thousand to make it as nice as a '17 is on delivery. I might also add that Ohio roads are generally much better than PA roads, I lived in Ohio for a few years. If a bike rides smoothly on PA roads, it's a real winner.

I am not saying the 107 isnt great out of the box. What I am saying is guys with Rushmore bikes are trading for the M8 with 5k to 12k difference that is a lot of coin for suspension and little more power. The 16 s have been discounted heavily meaning they are not give squat for pre 17s. Like i said cams and suspension for under 2k is a lot cheaper than 5 to 12 grand if you own a Rushmore already

I agree. Ole hrdtail78 has been talking **** on this site for a while now. He talks about integrity but its obvious he has no idea what that means. I wouldn't buy anything from him or Steve Cole if my life depended on it. Before I purchased the PV I was thinking about purchasing a TTS and all I can say is I'm sure glad I didn't. The way I see it is this, The PV with the TT must really be hurting their business or else they wouldn't be on here at every opportunity talking bad about the product and everyone associated with it.
