Default Looking to buy a power commander 3 usb for my 929... where should I get it?

Looking for suggestions on where to get a pc3 usb. I am finding them all over online for $260ish + shipping. The best that I have found it for is for $249 shipped here: http://www.absolutecycle.com/STORE/i...product_id=311 Has anyone found any better? Also, isthis a reputable company? Anyone ever bought from them? I am a newb and don't know jack about getting what from where.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just got new Qualifiers front and back and a Speedohealer- the Power Commander will be the last mod that I will be doing on the bike for a long time. I have her scheduled to go into the shop this Monday Oct. 15thfor the mega maintenance (valve adjustment and all other major maintenance)package. I just bought the bike a month ago and am dropping a good share of loot on it now, willride for a bit more before storing the bike andthen I won't have to worry aboutany work onitwhen the spring kicks off.

just took mine off of the bike, selling mine for $200. one of the plug's housin is cracked a little but never had a problem with it unpluging or anything. let me know if you're interested before it goes on ebay.

see that doesn't look like what he said he was looking for and I don't think that you would, on purpose anyways try to sell him what appears to be a serial port PCIII as a USB version? unless I'm not looking att the pictures correctly!

I got a serial port PCIII on ebay for $125

are you kidding me? I guess 12v_dub is a friend of yours and I struck a nerve but the poster clearly said he wanted a USB PCIII, and he also stated that the best price he has seen iÅŸ $249 shipped so do you think the poster would rather save $50 bucks and get a serial port vs the USB that he wanted and not get a warranty or have a PCIII with a crack in it vs a band spanking new one?

I don't know, I'd thnk I would just spend the extra $50 bucks.

lol

nope never met the guy just correcting and error on your part because you said that he was claiming it was a usb when clearly he never said anywhere there that it was a pc3 usb.

and the op could offer him lower and he could choose to accept it. 12v_dub had a product for sale and offered it up .

and as far as saving 50 bucks i agree with you i wouldnt but it for 200 personally (no offense 12v_dub) but most people who wont be tuning the pc themselves wouldnt know the difference between a usb or serial usb.. some only know about the usb version

from what i understand, the street version doent allow you to make as many corrections in the lower part of the rpm band. i guess it like with these new bikes with emission regualtions and such i hear its better for california emission bikes but i dont know for sure.


as for the pc3 that 12vdub had for sale.

the original poster stated he wanted a usb, he said he had one, that would lead any reasonable person to beleive he had a USB one.

next, my comments were to educate a new member/ poster to the difference in the 2 so he wouldnt waist $200 bucks on something that he really didnt want!

everybody doesnt have to learn things the hard way.
