Well, I finally got my TFI installed, and oh does it run nice 
acceleration -- better
popping on upshift -- gone
surging on highway -- gone
popping on decel -- 80% gone, may fiddle a bit more to see if I want to
get rid of all of it, or maybe a keep a bit, just for old times sake.
G 2
Y 4
R 4
rpm 4
However, not all went smooth as silk.
List of issues:
getting the unit -- there is a distributor in Italy, they wont sell to the public,
insisting a dealer installs it. Got in touch with Dobeck directly,
they shipped me one from the US about the same price. They threw in a discount for being a member here ( thanks )
Then UPS soaked me for an extra hundred bucks for import and 'service'.. grrrr
installation --
after depressurizing and the disconnect for the fuel line, mine started leaking;
not gushing, but like when you dont close the kitchen tap all the way.
Note to self: next time, do this with an EMPTY gas tank :20:
time lost, and of course the obligatory fuel spill.
That video of George and the Dyna is a bit optomistic, IMO.
I wound up with my gas tank almost completely off the bike, looking more
like this:
EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection Controllers - Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile, UTV
included removing the console ( 2 mins ), just missed the crossover
to completely remove the tank.
My bike is 8 years old, the injectors were ' well settled ' in their home,
took a bit of persuasion to get them turned around to get them off.
Nothing impossible, but some work.
Tuning was easy, very nice.. just like a carb
All in all, nice unit, not too tough to install, very happy with the results.
Bike feels better, and no more popping down the road
Thanks to Steve07 and cedarbrooke for some last minute tuning ideas....
