i have a 2001 ultra with vance n hines slip ons,se air cleanerand a pc ii. On a trip i used an average of one gallon of gas more than my friends ultras(one stock with 2 riders, and one with se stage one kit). My question is should i go to a new pc iii or just have it dyno tuned. I also ran 1 mph fast or slower on cruise control. by the way the other ultras are a 2002 and 2003. I am using the map given from pc disk.

Here's some pics of my 2001 FLHT "not so standard". Like many metal flake/pearl paints these pics don't do justice to the Chrysler diamond ice silver in the custom two-tone job. Let me know what you guys think...I may submit one to American Iron and see if it will make the snaps section. I've seen worse in there.

Anyone out there familiar with any knowledgable/reputable shops in the Cincinnati Ohio, N.KY area they can recommend ? Does'nt have to be an HD dealer, always liked the mom/pop small bike/speed shops (already have plenty of T-shirts and Boutique type stuff from the typical HD dealers)ya know dirty older buildings with parts all over the place and not as organized....???

Hi! I have been riding an '03 Shadow ACE (750) for about 2.5 years now and am upgrading to an 1100. (Trading with a friend who bought too much bike for her to handle). The bike has a hypercharger already installed. While I understand that it is an air intake system, I can't find much technical info on how it actually works. A quick internet search revealed where to buy one, how to install one, and discussions about whether it works. I'd appreciate any information, or being pointed in a direction where I can find some technical information.

Just wondering about handling difference, with different size wheels.
What are the pros and cons of various front wheel sizes?
16" , 18", 19", 21" ??
Rear wheels all seem to be 16" to 18". Wouldn't think that would matter much, but the fronts seem like a much greater range.
