Pretty nice little addition, no more fumbling with that pesky adjuster tool.

I was actually thinking about doing that myself but pros told me it does more damage than good. Dont know how but I didnt question it. Let me know how it turns out in a few weeks.

I am somewhat unfamiliar with the 1300's and their carbs in general but how can that do any damage?   ???

I've had mine on for 6 months. No problems with the new one, another story getting the stock one off >:(

I dont know how it does damage. I just asked about purchasing it and they said I dont want it because it does more bad than good. I left it at that. I will probably still get one if people are saying they work fine.

With the Pro-R Hypercharger and the V&H BigShots and a 210 main I have it somewhere between 2 and 2 1/2 turns out.  Seems to run great.

They don't want you to tune your own bike. >:(

Look over on VTXOA and you can see some feedback. Not trying to make a sale, just telling ya don't always trust what the dealer tells ya. They make money tuning bikes. Trust the word of people who have nothing to gain one way or the other, and have actually used whatever product it is.
