Monrovia, Ca | Had one installed in Sturgis. Seems to be the hot ticket that everybody is installing. Brings the power in around 2400 rpm instead of 3K. Reliability should not be a problem.
After the install, had the bike Dyno tuned on Lloyds dyno 115+ HP and 114.94 torque. VMC fuel controller, Stage 1 cams, air box, custom pipes by the company that made the Cycle Dragon system and timing gear. I am happy with that. |

| What is yours set at +2, +3, +4 or other? Also, who is doing your wrench work in the LA area ??? Many of the LA area dealers are gone.
Thanks, Tim

| I'm running mine at +4. It really makes a difference you can feel. So far no pinging to report not even going up Montezuma's from Borrego at 100+ F. It only took me about an hour to install it including removing the old gasket which took a lot of the time. Mike at SoCal Victory is an excellent tech and a nice guy to boot.

Do you have Mike's contact info ??? A few Vision owner's up here have been trying to locate him for work on their Visions. Found him, thanks. http://www.socalmotorcycles.com/miscpage_009.asp

Troy, NY | +4 degrees on mine. Puts back HP on low-end that is lost with cams. Nice addition for $149. Lloyd installed so can't comment on ease of installation. |

| Takes about twenty minuets to do more if you don't have all the tools on the floor.
Remove the two bolts that hold the floor boards on. Put rag over pipe. Remove dip stick put rag in hole. Take out the six timing bolts and pull cover off.
Clean gasket off or if good leave it alone. Old wheel might come off using your two hands. 13mm socket to un do center bolt. Put wheel on a little blue loctight on bolt toque to 17ft pounds. Wedge screw driver between teeth and motor bolt and tighten. Wipe off timing cover gasket area. Check to see wires and timing pick up are where they should be. Put on cover tighten bolts down. Now ten min away from being down.
Leave at +4 and ride. You'll see in twenty five miles little to no more popping.
You'll be at 65mph in a blink of a eye and it smooths out the motor. Gear $142 reusable gasket $20
There is a night and day difference and you'll pick up some gas mileage.
Maybe you'll loose three to four drops of oil. |

| Here is waht Lloydz say about the wheel.
We developed the PTS (precision timing wheel) for mainly increasing the bottom end power under 2500 rpms but found that it will increase power Across the board. Also I'm told from Scott at Conquest Customs that he sells the timing wheel to eliminate all the backfiring from his Ground Pounders witch are short pipes known for backfiring.
We've also discovered that the power will increae even more over having a power commander installed do to the PTS ability to also change the injector timing with the ignition timing. So whats my tip? Every bike will benefit from the installation of a PTS. The only thing you have to time is making sure you order yours when there available because they go fast.

| JohnnyVision, Thanks for the instructions. I have everything except a descent torque wrench. I went to order the parts from Lloydz, but their website is out of stock. Need to see if anyone else has them in stock. Much appreciated. Tim

Central Illinois | Use the "contact" feature on their site. They have promised to let me know when both the wheel and gasket are available again. |

| I'm one of the few... Started at +4 and was pinging pretty good on decent hills riding two up. Backed off to +2. MUCH better for MY bike. Nice that the homeowner can adjust when needed. Nice product. |
