Is the gear indicator a big deal? NO. Do I sometimes wish it were there? YES...

I've purchased a lot of gear from Revzilla.com, an online retailer (based in Philly) to include the PCV for my 7th Gen.

They are top notch in support, communication, price, and an overall customer satisfaction standpoint.

Interceptorridder, thanks for the suggestion. I'll leave the z-bomb be, and do the PCV install as I originally intended. I'm going with the 2 Bros map, simply because it appears the be the closest thing available.

The Akra pipe uses the flapper system of the original equipment, and the only other map I can find is the Jardine. Going to have to dust off a PC laptop, as the PCV software is not Mac compatible. Looking forward to smoothing the fueling out. Any performance increase is icing on the cake.

As I've mentioned, I have the z-bomb installed on my V12, and I do like the difference it's made. I do have a question about it's use with a PCV. Should I remove the z-bomb for the initial PCV install?

I'll be using the 2-Bros map to accommodate my Leo Vince slip on.

If it makes a difference, someone let me know; I'd be appreciative. Of course, I would reinstall the z-bomb after the PCV install. Is there anything I'm missing?

Once the PV5 is installed, I'm down to about three more mods remaining!

Thanks

I got mine a week ago and tested it immediately - very noticeable difference in 1st and 2nd gear, no power drop, no jerking. Also the sound improved a lot, it gave it more roaring I guess because the valve opens more often. I don't know about unintended wheelies but at one point in 2nd gear I was very close to slipping off my seat and falling behind the bike while it was accelerating. :-) I would definitely recommend the Z-Bomb to a friend!

I think it'll be a good addition. I've never been one to "stunt" a bike, but I do appreciate pure power and performance (including speed)

My adversion to wheelies is based on several things, I suppose. Not the least is that I remind myself of Danny Glover's line in the Lethal Weapon movies; "Im getting too old for this sh#t!" lol

I don't think the gear indicator issue has been fixed, and there's probably not a great deal of push to do so. I would personally like to see it, as well. Having said that, I ordered the z-bomb last week, and am looking forward to riding with it installed.

I've felt the "hole" in second. Not good. Equally irritating is the jerkiness in first. I thought it might just be me, initially. You know, not being smooth enough with the throttle. Maybe it's a bit of both!

I'll report my findings once it's here and installed. Looking forward to it, but I am a bit intimidated by the thought of unintended wheelies. Last time I did one intentionally was on a Schwinn in 1976.
