Hey Guys,
Finally got done with installing the 204's. I couldn't be happier.
I'm not sure exactly how much the engine temp is lowered (my wife said she'd cut my yarbles off if I used her meat thermometer again) but I'll get a number posted soon. I'll bet it's at least 80* cooler.
I don't have to keep changing postioin to prevent my pants from catching fire now. It's no more hot than my Pan or Shovel ever ran.
Initially I used the MAP that I dialed in to put some color on the plugs (PCIII). It ran ok but broke up just a bit at very low RPM in 1st gear. Called FuelMoto, who I bought the PCIII from, and they sent me a MAP for all my mods.
Installed it all by myself (if you knew me and computers, you'd get it) and away I went.
The bike runs awesome. I still would like to get it Dyno'ed, but that may have to wait till after Iraq.
The bike may not have as much style as my Pan or Shovel, but it runs better by alot. (relatively)
Thanks to Fuel Moto, and a very special thanks to my friend on here that was patient enough to answer all my stupid questions. I'll leave him nameless so there is no flood of more helpless, dangerous guys armed with torx and Torque wrenches, but you know who you are. Thanks for all your help.
I'll keep Ya'll posted.
Willie

Hey Alsphalt Junkie, could you help me out with the map FuelMoto sent you . I'm also running the PCIII. I just put in the 204's and its very choppy (lean) at part throttle. The only mods I have are stage 1 air cleaner, and V&H BSS w/ stock baffles. Just looking to get it to run better before I hit the dyno.

Thanks

If money is the problem. I will dyno it for free.
Just a small token to say thanks for your service.

If it's just a matter of not having the time. Sorry I cant help with that. LOL

Stroker,
I am truly grateful of your offer, (and I just may take you up on it, LOL).
It is wonderful to know there are Americans out there that really, honestly mean "Support Our Troops" and are willing to do something like this.
I can only speak for myself and the guys I work with, but believe me when I say, We do this for guys like you. Hard working Americans that love their Country and are willing to take a step that is not just lip service. People that back us up, not cause it's the cool=guy, politically correct thing to do, but because they mean it. You really made my day today. I told the guys in the company what you offered, and they all said that it was good to know that there are still Patriots out there. So, again, Thank you Stroker.
Our country is in troubled times right now, but there are people that still know what it means when they hear "My FELLOW Americans"
Not to get too sappy, but I'm sure all the other Active Duty and Vets out there get what I mean.
Like that Country Dude said: I'm proud to be American.
