Truly Affordable

A bicycle is a human supercharged vehicle that has a frame tied with two wheels and that is
driven by a pedal. presented during the 19th centuries bicycles are known to outdo the
total number of motor vehicles by a ratio of 2 to 1. In many parts of the earth, bicycles are the main method of transport. Although
the primary use of the bicycle is as a means of transport, it has developed other uses including recreational actions, fitness activities
law enforcement diligences and competitive sports.

History of Bicycles

Ever since the chain driven model was introduced to the market, the key
innovation of the bicycle had remained unchanged up to day. But, other advances such as using computers to design
and check the stability have been made to the bicycle from its manufacturing process. Some bicycles are particularly
constructed to adhee to standards of racing, cyclicling on mountains and even for law enforcement. Additionally, the concept of the bicycle has up to a great extent extended its contribution for the development of machines by introducing concepts such as ball bearings, pneumatic tires and spoke tensioned wheels.

What to Look for In a Bicycle

When relating to bicycles, the dynamics of the bicycle should be viewed first. A bicycle has to maintain its center of gravity over the wheels in order to stay upright or balanced.
Therefore, it reaches this by the moving forward using the steering which is unremarkably provided by the rider
and sometimes even by the bicycle itself. Additionally, in order to navigate successfully the body of the rider must balance out the dynamics,
especially at turns. Counter-steering is a task that is used in this regard.

Bicycle can be classified as an highly
efficient machine looked at in both biological and mechanical view point. When
comparing the energy an individual must spend to travel a given distance, the bicycle is stated to be the most efficiently
operating self powered method of transportation. The bicycle wheels carry nearly 99% of the energy because the rider exerts energy to pedals. But in
bicycles that have gear mechanisms, the energy needed will be diminished However the air drag faced by the rider will
always remain a problem. At higher speeds, importantly greater power outputs are needed to overcome the air drag. When a rider is sitting in an upright position, the
body of the rider accounts for nearly 75% of the full drag experienced by the bicycle and rider combined. The only way to reduce the air drag is to importantly reduce the position to supine or prone that is in line with aerodynamics.

The main
features of a bicycle are frame, steering mechanics, seating, drivetrain, suspension, wheels and brakes. Certain bicycles may include optional
mechanisms such as gearing which uses distinct sizes of gears to obtain a mechanical advantage from the bicycle. By using gears, the efficiency of the bicycle can be increased by descreasing effort and increasing output.

VFC Installation on a Victory Kingpin Motorcycle

For this How-To article I am using pics of my install of the VFC with highlighted areas of some components that should make it easier to follow.

First start by removing the seat and then the fuel tank bolts and lift the tank enough to disconnect the fuel tank wiring connector.

At this point rather than diconnecting the fuel line at the tank or emptying the tank(I had a couple of gallons in there) I opted to disconnect at the splitter block underneath and inserted a bolt of the appropiate size and retightened the hose clamp.

Now with the available slack provided by the overflow vent tube I was able to lay the tank on a stool next to the bike giving me enough room to work.

Locate the rear injector behind the throttle body (small red circle) which is switched with the one on the VFC as per the instructions.

Locate the front jumper for the front injector located on the right side of the frame at the center of the airbox, which are switched with the VFC.

I mounted the VFC on top of the Fusebox under the right side cover, be sure to decide where you want to mount yours and route the VFC wiring harness accordingly.

NOTE: Make sure there are no pinch points of the harness when reinstalling the tank and seat.

Finally the last connection you will make is the VFC ground wire to the NEG side of the battery(yellow line).

Once this is done you need to set your fuel tank back on the bike and connect everything back up so you can test your VFC.
Note: Bike must be warmed-up to operating temperature before making any adjustments.

REMEMBER this unit is recommended for bikes that have a minimum of,

1.High Flow Intake system.

2.Performance Exhaust.

3.Stock Mapping

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll be glad to help any way I can.

How do you make your Harley Davidson look and feel like an extension of yourself!

Do you think maybe it’s time to do a little customizing for that old girl of yours? Ask yourself this first.

Why do we customize and add accessories to our Harley?

Well, for me it’s simple!

We want to stand out above all else! The last thing we want is to look like every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there on the road!

You may have different reasons. You may want to add an Accessory to your bike because it fits with you and your taste.

There is an element of being practical as well. If you install a nice chrome luggage rack on your back fender, or a detachable windshield, it not only looks good but it also serves a purpose. How else would you carry your tent and keep bugs out of your teeth?

Not everyone has the same taste in customizing. Thank God for that, or it sure would be boring taking a walk down on main street in Sturgis South Dakota during the 1st week of August.

Some people go overboard on customizing their bike. Overboard for someone may be a masterpiece for someone else. It all depends on who you are and what you’re about.

How do you pick out a Harley Davidson Accessory or decide on customizing?

It’s a hard question to answer.

I would suggest that you decide on what you want out of your bike. Sit back and have a look at yourself. What kind of biker are you anyway?

Are you a speed demon that likes to lay rubber on the road every now and then. Do you get a kick out of doing a little showing off at bike rallies to friends and family? Do you like to participate in show and shine contests?

If you are this person you may want to look at getting your engine rebuilt for increased horsepower. You can’t go wrong with a lot of Harley chrome either. Just when you think you have had enough of chrome, you find some more in that catalog.

Don’t worry, there is a chrome Harley Davidson motorcycle built to date.

Your style may be a little more subdued. Your main motorcycling purpose in life may be ride the road and not waste time with anything else. You would have to agree, most people still want to look good riding a Harley.

If you are this person you may only want one or two Accessories. A nice luggage bag that slips over that backrest on your bike looks good when you are on a long trip and it serves a purpose.

Every Harley Davidson owner at some time or another has thought about adding an accessory to his or her motorcycle. You rarely see a stock Harley Davidson!

Keep in mind the kind of person you are when making Harley Davidson Accessory choices. A properly customized Harley is above all else, an extension of the owner who rides it.
