Could've been worse I suppose...they could've charged something for category "Other". Oh well, you makes your choice and pays yer money
patience with installation no pulling on wires.
If you get it marked to be custom cleared by importer, PF can't touch it and in my experience HMRC just wave it through as it is too much of a pita for them.YAY!! Finally, got notification that the AF-XIED is in the country.

Bugger! Now he tells me
Seriously, cheers, will bear in mind for next time I buy from abroad.Thanks, noted, can't wait
Instead of getting the letter from Prat Farce telling you to pay them, you get the same thing from HMRC and you pay them instead.Bugger! Now he tells me
Meant to say thanks Smogbob - was really useful to refer to your installation pics throughout. Funny because, for what is ostensibly a simple fitting procedure, it's a bloody nightmare of cable/wire manipulation! Still, as you've said, it's done now.Might take a little while for the ECU to catch up but made I larf the cursing, you are not alone, at least you done it.
Cheers Roger, I'll keep that in mind. Didn't matter where I positioned the units on my GS Rallye, the rider's seat would only close cleanly on high front and back. Having done around 80 miles so far, I've found it to be incredibly comfortable!!! Have struggled with comfort on the low seao setting, so this has really done me a service
Only problem is, being a shortarse (5'7") I'm right at the limit of stability at a standstill!!! Will see how it goes, especially when the missus hops on pillion. If it gets too treacherous, I'll try repositioning them on the tubing, ta.
Quick update for anyone that's interested
2 tanks of fuel down, bike improving all the time. It's a very different machine now compared to pre-fitment;
mega midrange pull, smooth and torquey at all revs and now generally in need of 7th. I find myself naturally riding in at least one gear higher most of the time, which has also improved MPG slightly.
Less popping on the over-run, and riding down steep hills on a closed throttle is now a much nicer experience, the bike behaving a lot less like a giant pogo stick.
Town riding is getting better, much less surging around 20 - 40mph in any gear. Still a way to go here, but I stress that the bike seems better every time I take it out.
Weirdest thing of all is that the quick shifter now works miles better, up and down the box. Find myself using it all the time and it's really added to the overall sense of smoothness that the bike now has that it never had before.
All of the above highly subjective of course - doubtless I'm looking for improvements having spent what is an awful lot of money on this gadget. Placebo? Who the fuck knows, main thing is I'm delighted with how the bike runs now, with almost every fuelling glitch or gripe no longer noticeable. Well happy!
thanks to Roger for all the time he has put into this wonderful plug and play invention.
