FOLKS..... you WANT this flash!!!!!
Went on a short (100 mile) ride around the Northern Neck of VA with the wife and it feels much better with the additional loading than it did previously. Quite happy so far.
Maybe you do need to ride a 10 up, I'm honestly amazed that you can't tell a difference in smoothness, it's what everyone else notes right off, even the guys with the early models. and losing a couple hundred idle rpm... first time I've heard that, and I have around 50 or more units running right now. Interesting. I can tell you that the cold really affects the economy of the bike, I rode in some 45 degree weather and the mileage was horenedous, I watch the mileage increase steadily as the ambient temps came up into the mid 60's. This has nothing to do with the flash, just the inefficiency of the bike when it's cold. Steve
Throttle transitions were smooth as they were before the flash. I never noticed any abruptness before, nor afterwards. Deceleration feels the same as it was before. I didn't have any issues with controlling the speed of the bike (before or after), although it always wants to go faster. It basically just felt more powerful. What I would like to do is ride a gen2 (stock) and compare how good my bike is to theirs. The only real issue I had was the idle speed dropped. Hard to estimate how much, but I'm thinking about 200rpm or less.
I left the left side insert out.
Yep, but I only got it because everyone else was getting it.
Unrelated to the important discussion on flashing, I'm totally distracted by the possibility that Mr. Pink's left-side lower extremity is more heat resistant than the right.Used to be a pirate....
So then, if everyone else was jumping off of a cliff...

The right side has more heat because of the exhaust, and the cats act as a heat sink. Steve

I found more heat was pushed up around the tank with both inserts in. Left one out is a reasonable compromise.
...staggering around singing "yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum".
That's actually not a bad idea. I may try that.
