I didn't get it installed yet. Had a bunch of family obligations this weekend along with homework, so no time to install it. I'm hoping I can get it done this coming weekend.

BTW how difficult was it to remove the tank?

Removal of the tank is pretty easy compared to some others. It takes only 5 to 10 minutes and poof it's off. If you need some help I do have service manual i may be able to scan the tank section for ya.!!!!! if you want...

Hey good to hear it bro that yuor getting some new stuff.... Yeah once you add the PCIII and the BAK (hopefully you have new pipes already) your gonna say Holy shiittt were did all this power come from. Throttle response is bar far the big thing I noticed right off the bat...The bak will put off some noise because of the butterflys sucking in all that air. So dont let that freak you out. Plus you may want to get it dyno's right after installing all your new goodies.

Sorry to interrupt, but what is "BAK" again? Brand name of Air filter?

09-04-2007, 02:08 PM
BAK stands for Barons Air kits. Barons.com

I'm putting this back to the front because I've made an executive decision. It's cheaper, easier, and cooler for me to have my PCIII installed. I'm not going to have them do the custom map if I can help it, so I'm asking for your help.

Does anyone have their mapping so I can load it onto mine? I have V&H baggers and stock air. Besides, my wife is much happier with that idea than with me working in our very crowded garage.

All I have are maps for are V&H pipes, BAK or after market air. If you want that let me know. I know Dynojet PCIII web site has a map for V&H pipes and stock air kit. Runs kinda rich though...

The main problem for me is room in my garage. It looks like a tornado dumped everything in my garage. I have enough room to do the oil change and that's about it.

BAK stands for Barons Air kits. Barons.com

Thanks, but I was asking about BAK (must have missed it on the response from previous posts)...

Thanks again, I'll google them to see what they are all about.

This afternoon I'm having the PCM III installed. I'm looking forward to this. Honestly, have to hope this has been worth the hype. I'm a bit of a sceptic.

09-13-2007, 11:17 AM
Soc after you get it installed you will see why we have those PCIII on.... You seen the post by that other member who just did it and he cant beleive his power difference. I think you will like it.

Thanks VC. I'm really looking forward to this. If I enjoy it too much, my wife may not see me for a few days.

I am not terribly thrilled with the Power Comander on my 1600! Done the K & N - V & H's & now the PC III and mileage has tanked!! Yes the power is very good!! But when you go from 47 Mpg to 30 - 35 Mpg that sucks!! My local stealer has re-mapped the thing numerous times and blames it on the fairing & trunk I added. Well, before the PC III with the pipes & K & N the damn thing got 44 Mpg consistantly! With out the Fairing & trunk it was 46 - 47 Mpg no sweat! I was Okay with the 44 Mpg but now it doesn't matter if I am One up or Two Up pulling a loaded trailer I get 35 - 30 Mpg and that's that!
May have to get a Lap Top and dig into alittle deeper!!

44-47? How on earth did you get that kind of mileage?? Put in in neutral and coast downhill? Or are you one of those people who does what you're supposed to do and drive the speed limit?

(walks off muttering...44-47? How the hell???)

Todd
09-13-2007, 03:23 PM
Thats good mileage.....if I ride the way I SHOULD...I can do 42 or so...most of the time it the 38 to 40 range the way I really ride

I used to check mph and "worry" about it but then decided it is what it is (besides, I can tell if a major loss of mph by the trip odometer anyway). I just fill it up when my light comes on ;)

I would agree with that...if you can have a Nomad for a toy the little extra gas cant be too bad.

Yup I had the same thing happen my milage tanked big time too (28 to 30) but after getting it mapped just right I am now at 34 to 38 MPG depending on how I ride. I'm more than willing to lose the 5 or 7 miles per gallon for all that extra power but thats me...Stock nomads cant even keep up with me no matter what LOLOLOL.
