RE: power commander

Can't he just get the wiring harness? Seems so, since every PC needs software (map). What's the deally-o?

RE: power commander

well I guess if he somehow had the wiring that comes out of the Power commander for his bike and could take the harley one apart and reverse engineer the circuit board to figure out where to sauder each wire onto the board, and reprogram the chip to work with his bike it could work

or he could ebay the Harley one and buy the right one

RE: power commander

i'm not saying its not possible, but looking at a power commander it seems you'd need a degree in electrical engineering to make it work

RE: power commander

Haha, I don't think I'd try and make it work. By the time you ebay off the one you have, and buy the right one, you surely won't be out much money. And save a lot of time. In my opinion, no way would it be worth the time and money to mod one to work.
