Interesting. Maybe @Freebird should contact them and perhaps arrange special pricing for members.

I used the 2nd gen valve cover gaskets once and they were a little easier, but I didn't like the way they looked, so I immediately shaved off the excess, even the half moons, which was a bit tricky. I have a thing for aesthetics... I'm kind of against using sealer because these are reusable and will last for years. They are a bit tricky to get in place. But once you figure it out the 1st Gen gaskets go right on. What I do is zip tie the gasket to the valve cover kind of snugly on all four "legs" of the valve cover. Once I have the cover in place I carefully cut and remove the zip ties. A thin piece of metal such as banding stock also helps to "shoe spoon" them in. But this won't work very well with 2 Gen gaskets because of the wider tabs. I vote for the 1st gen gaskets. YG

Carbtune is no doubt your best choice in the hundred dollar range. That other one is only few dollars less. http://www.carbtune.com/ ​YG

Check this out! It works great! Now I don't have to open the garage door and let the air conditioning out. And there is Zero exhaust escaping inside. Kitty Litter pail Small double squirrel cage 2@ 4 inch x 20 ft aluminum collapsible ducts 2@ 4 inch connectors Half dozen self tappers and couple of zip ties And about an hour labor

EBC. The EBC HH line are sintered pads and are widely accepted as good pads with really decent grab and stopping power.

I found a relatively easy method to connect that sucker. 1. Attach the tube to the bottom of the airbox 2. Attach a really long zip tie (14" or so) to the lower end of the tube with a small zip tie. So I have in effect I have made a zip tie tail on the bottom of the tube. 3. Then feed the long tail down between the carbs and tug on the tail and guide the hose into place.

I feel for you brother. I had a rough rotator cuff surgery in 2010. Seven stainless steel anchors now holding bicep tendon and others along with bone spurs, bursa...the whole nine yards. PT was horrible. It was about 5 months before I was really back to work. I took control of my PT and quit letting the therapist completely run the show. I had my Dr order PT 5 days a week and then I went for baby steps and not trying to make progress at anyone's pace but mine. Fortunately, Tricare paid it. Therapists like to push because it's good for their reputation. But just like a lawyer, the therapist and Dr work for you and not the other way around. My recovery was quite lengthy but within about a year I regained almost 100% range of motion. It was difficult and painful but eventually it became water under the bridge. Heather

Randy, Try CTRL and + Key and see what that does. Heather

This is what Dingy sent to me last year. I have not updated mine yet because I have been happy with the performance performance of the program that Dingy loaded during the group buy. I do plan to load the new program and ignition files soon. I'm off next week so I will likely do it then and I'll post about my result and my opinion about the update. Dingy's instructions says how to load the new program so I'm presuming it the updated files will work with the TCI's that he sold to us. @Black wing have you loaded it yet? What are the results?

It is

​Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

XVS 650 Is a great bike! We had one and loved it. I have PDF manual if you need it. YG

Yes it is easier to see at dusk or with the lights low.

Here is the latest that Dingy had in Sept 2015. They are more recent than what came on the cd in 2013 Because some internet security software will prevent downloading EXE files Dingy sent the program file out as a RENAME file. Step Number 1 Convert/rename the 140905a_tcpi4A_V88.RENAME to 140905a_tcip4A_EXE This is a simple operation. Create a folder and name it Ignitec Files. You can do this on your desktop. Right Click any open space on your desktop and select NEW then select Folder then name it Ignitec Files. If you have trouble naming the New Folder don't sweat it "New Folder " will work fine for what we are doing. Just don't forget what it is. Now click and download this 140905a_tcpi4A_V88.RENAME and save it to your new folder named "Ignitec Files" Right click on the file you just downloaded and select Rename You can type in the new name 140905a_tcip4A_EXE or simply change the .RENAME to .EXE Step Number 2 Click and download the Instructions for loading program into TCI and then follow Dingy's instructions. Step Number 3 Click and download the appropriate file for your bike Be sure to save all of the downloaded files to the same location . This is where you will look for them when loading the program 83-89 Venture - V88 program.ign 85-89 VMax - V88 program with V-boost.ign 85-89 VMax - V88 program.ign 90-93 Venture - V88 program.ign Printed Instructions that Dingy enclosed with the Ignitec TCI in 2013

I have the latest (as of Sept 2015) software from Dingy. It has the files for 83-89 and 90-93 If anyone needs it PM me with your email and I'll send it out. YG
