right on.....you'll need it if/when you do a good exhaust

my personal favorite addition to the power commander was the add-on that allows you to do cluchless wide-open throttle gear changes :rick: it senses the gear change & cuts the engine fire for a split second, so you never have to let off the throttle

oh....don't forget a K&N filter if it doesn't have one....

Awesome! Those things have SO much torque it's not even funny. The power isn't too shabby either.

I got to ride one of those one time... you are a lucky mang, mang.

Ooh, nice bike. I wish Honda still made V-Twins in their sport/naked bikes. If they made a naked Honda 1K V-Twin I'd be all over that. :drool:

Nice bike Tony. Don't know why you keep asking me for a job but it looks like you don't even need one.
