Adjust the angle of your windshield, it does make a difference, even with larger lowers. Check "Gadget's" site for more info.

I vote for the TFI module and the $21.95 air mod (another $40 something if Chuckster makes the backing plate.) I lost 1 mpg overall (and I could probably tweak some more), used 87 octane for a 2-up ride for 3K miles in early August without a ping, and the bike just purrs.

Don't do an air mod without the fuel management.

I'll do the TFI and air intake mod at some point, just have to come up with the funds for the TFI. That is definitely on my list.

Thanks for all of the input.

I would add a LED Voltmeter. They don't cost much and can identify electrical problems before you are stuck out in the boondocks with a dead battery.
