A little expensive

OK, I should know that if you have the cash to shell out for an expensive cruiser plus the "vaseline tax" then a $150 for "recalibrating" the EFI should not be too much... but it still bothers me that they charge this much when installing the latest EFI map on my Triumph is only $60 (if they do it as part of the regular maintenance they don't even charge you extra!!!).

Whatever, I guess that if you gotta have it then you gotta have it no matter how much you'll have to pay for it. Bikes are about passion not financially sane decissions.

Re: Forbes, a girl, and the V-Rod....

I agree, give her a chance, she may like it after all.

BTW the R1 may not be the best choice of a bike if you want a passenger, though.

Re: A little expensive

Not to argue with you but the comparison is fair I think.

If you were to install a performance can on a Triumph then the standard map needs to be replaced for the "perfomance map" that corresponds with the type of exhaust you installed (just like in the case of the V-Rod) and the charge is still what I described above. This is NOT service routine but a specific performance upgrade.

It is OK with me if Harley decides to charge for this what they will charge but I just think it is very fortunate that not all companies do the same.
