PODCAST-In this episode we read an email from a listener who had some great questions about riding motorcycles in a biker club environment or setting. We discuss this topic and try to shed some light on it. We here at Law Abiding Biker Podcast and Media are members of the Sworn Few Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) and he asked how we specifically do it in our club. We have specific ways we ride within the Sworn Few LEMC and we share that information with you. We throw out some ideas that may work or not work for other Law Abiding Biker clubs. It turns into a very good discussion and certainly a topic we may follow up on in the future.

Below is the email question from Todd of Western Washington State and we want to thank him for contacting us. His email made a whole podcast episode topic for us. He had some internesting insight into how his club currently rides within their motorcycle biker club environment. You really must listen to this biker podcast episode.

Thanks man! I really appreciate the work you guys do in regards to the podcast. By far one of the best motorcycling podcasts […] [Read more…]

Tekk Innovations Revised Code of Washington iPhone App

March 19, 2014 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

As many of you know by now, I am a18 year veteran Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) in Washington State. One of my assignments is as a Formal Training Officer (FTO). If you are not familair with what an FTO is then let me explain. An FTO trains and evaluates brand new hired police officers for determined periods of time until they are allowed and ready to be releaed on their own.

The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) is the large book of laws that Washington State has created that citizens are to abide by.

I learned about an iPhone app created by Tekk Innovations LLC that makes it extremely easy to access, find, and search the laws in the State of Washington (Revised Code of Washington). Tekk Innovations LLC also has similar apps for many other states.

The RCW app is smooth and very helpful. I have been using it for about 8 months now. The user interface is […] [Read more…]

PODCAST-This episode of the Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Podcast is dedicated to our one year anniversary! That's right, just a year ago on March 16, 2013 I recorded and published my first Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Podcast episode in my daughter's closet. I used nothing but an iPad Mini, the Bossjock app, and a Blue Snowball condenser microphone to record it. I was in my daughter's closet, because the condenser microphone picked up too much echo in my office. I did have an iMac already that I utilized to edit and distribute the audio files I created.

I had been trying to sell an item for some time and finally did so after some prayers. Because of the that sale, I was able to order and purchase professional podcasting equipment and gear. I pieced my professional podcasting setup together and am still using it to this day. I was very selective about what equipment I bought and did not want to buy a standard package. I got a much better deal piecing it together myself and ordering from all different sources. Every penny counted for me when I was ordering my podcasting gear and I did a ton of research.

So, by episode #4 of this new biker motorcycle podcast I had all […] [Read more…]

PODCAST-So, we ask the question what is going happen to you when you die? Do you have plans and have you told your loved ones what your wishes are as a motorcycle enthusiast? Do you want to be cremated or better yet; buried on you beloved Harley Davidson? We discuss an Ohio man whose wishes were to be buried on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Well, his wishes came true and I must say it might not be politically correct in some eyes. We say good for him and he rode his Harley through those pearly gates as he wished. Is it weird or creepy? You make the call on this one. This episode is packed with a ton of other topics and emails, so you best listen up.

MECHANICSBURG, Ohio — An Ohio man got his wish last week – to be buried upright on his 1967 motorcycle.

Billy Standley can be seen on his bike in a plexiglass casket. He started planning the burial 18 years ago. It took five embalmers, three extra burial plots and […] [Read more…]

VIDEO-How to Fold Roll Motorcycle Chaps-Biker Chap Pack Roll| Biker Podcast

March 8, 2014 By Ryan Urlacher 2 Comments

Another Free Video Made By Bikers For Bikers!

VIDEO & BLOG-In this video I teach you step-by-step how to properly fold and roll your leather motorcycle biker chaps into a tight and neat “chap pack”. I am not the creator of this method of folding your chaps, but I wanted to pass it on to you in an understandable tutorial video and blog, such as we do here at Law Abiding Biker Media.

In this video I show you how to fold your motorcycle chaps into a rolled chap pack over my Harley Davidson Motorcycle seat. This is typically how you will be folding and rolling your chaps into a chap pack, so I wanted to show you this way on the video.

It will be uncommon to be folding your biker chaps or rolling a chap pack on a clean floor or in a house on a table, but you may before you leave for a long trip. However, once you are out for your motorcycle trip or ride, you will need to know how to roll and fold your chaps into a chap pack on the go and draped over your motorcycle seat.

Okay-so if you are like me, my motorcycle biker chaps take up much room in my saddlebag. Additionally, they are usually just folded over themselves in a clump and are always in the way when I go to remove something else from my saddle bags. Often times I have to pull my chaps out of the saddle bag to get at other items buried underneath. When I do so, [Read more…]

VIDEO-Manual Adjust Harley Davidson Street Glide Touring Rear Suspension | Biker Podcast

March 6, 2014 By Ryan Urlacher 22 Comments

Another Free Video By Bikers For Bikers!

VIDEO & BLOG-In this tutorial video I show you how to adjust your manual rear suspension on your Harley Davidson touring model. I am using a 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special in this video, but the manual suspension has been used on other models. Additionally, in the video and this blog I provide you with a recommended Preload Settings chart.

I had a 2011 Harley Street Glide prior to purchasing my 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special which had adjustable air type rear suspension. I must say that my Street Glide Special rides much smoother with this new manual adjust type rear suspension. I prefer the ease of the manual suspension preload adjustment knob system on my Street Glide Special much better. I don't have to carry around a small air pump to adjust my rear suspension when I am out and about and changing my load weight like I did with my 2011 Street Glide. Now I just turn the knob and I am on my way.

If you have adjustable air type rear suspension on your Harley Davidson then we have a free video for that too:

EFI TUNER INFORMATION AND UNITS BELOW ON THIS PAGE

PODCAST-In this episode we really try and break through the confusion on all these aftermarket motorcycle electronic fuel injection (EFI) boxes and gadgets that are for sale on the market out there. It can be awfully confusing and daunting to most, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. We know that after you listen to this podcast episode you will feel much more comfortable with the subject and be in the know. Let us take all the confusion out of mapping the fuel injection on your motorcycle with these aftermarket products. We have actually utilized some of these products and are going to try others. We also cover when you need to remap your EFI and when it is not necessary. We discuss why there are certain times you might want to do a remap.

For some remapping your EFI it is not necessary and for others it is an exciting journey that has endless possibilities for fine tuning your motorcycle! Do you want more low end or top end power for your motorcycle? Are the prices for these motorcycle EFI tuning gadgets worth it? Should I just get the standard Harley-Davidson dealership EFI download into my Electronic Control Module (ECM)? Should I trust all these aftermarket EFI tuners? Are some motorcycle EFI tuners better than others? What is a motorcycle auto tuner? Do all these aftermarket EFI tuners work with each other/cross platform? Can I take my EFI tuner with me when I sell my motorcycle? Do I need a laptop computer to use an EFI tuner? Do I need a smartphone or tablet to use an EFI tuner? We answer these and many other questions you may have about motorcycle electronic fuel injection (EFI) tuners and auto tuners. This topic is endless and we tried to break it down for you. We will likely have to do one or two follow up episodes on this topic, but this will get your started for certain.

There are so many motorcycle electronic motorcycle (EFI) tuners out there on the market. To break it down a bit for you we discuss Harley-Davidson’s Screaming Eagle Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Race Tuner, the Dyno Jet Power Commander V with Auto Tuner Kit, the DynoJet Power Vision with additional Autotune Pro, and the Vance & Hines Fuel Pak 3 (FP3).

Law Abiding Biker™ Media has already released several EFI tuner install and review videos:

The Dyno Jet Power Commander V prices at around $379. If you want to add the additional DynoJet Auto Tuner you will spend another $399. The Power Vision prices at around $549, which comes with a basic AutoTuner that utilizes the narrow band factory oxygen sensors. For greater tuning capabilities you can spend an additional $420 for the Pro Autotune for the Power Vision, which includes a control module, two wide-band oxygen sensors, cables, and everything needed for installation. You can view real time data while riding with the Power Vision.

The Vance and Hines Fuel Pak 3 all in one solution prices at around $359. There are no wires to run up to your bars when installing. The Fuelpak 3 is very compact and talks with your smartphone via bluetooth with an awesome free app they developed. You can also see real time data as you are riding on your smartphone. We strongly suggest mounting your smartphone to your handlebars with confidence using the #1 best cell phone motorcycle mounting solution, the Biker Gripper!

Of course there is the Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle EFI tuner, but our opinion is to stay away and we explain why on this podcast. Simply put, you just need to listen to get the whole scoop.

EFI TUNERS

An easy to understand Guide & Information

By Bikers for Bikers

DynoJet Power Vision & Auto Tune Pro

Consider using our Affiliate Links to purchase.

Revzilla Affiliate | Amazon Affiliate | MC Superstore Affiliate

A performance tuner and data monitor that offers flash tuning technolog & data logging. It can tune any fuel injected Harley-Davidson motorcycle with the Delphi ECM. Includes a full color touch screen flash device, built in Auto Tune Basic Mode, vehicle interface cable, and WinPV (Windows PC based tuning application). FYI: NO MAC SUPPORT (Ridiculous). You will need to connect the Power Vision to a PC to download maps, and update software.

This touch screen display DOES NOT require the use of a computer to flash your bike or to use Auto Tune. Just select the tune, follow the on-screen prompts to download the tune, and if you’d like, edit your tune without ever touching a computer.

Autotune Basic comes with the Power Vision. It utilizes the factory narrow-band oxygen sensors that come equipped on your motorcycle.

**Factory narrow-band oxygen sensors will limit the amount of tuning you can do.

DynoJet Power Vision ($549)

PC Software & Cable (Comes with)

AutoTune Pro Accessory Kit: Includes a control module, two wide-band oxygen sensors, cables, and everything needed for installation.

Adding this kit will allow for more precise tuning of your motorcycle. That is accomplished with the wide-band oxygen sensors. Most factory pipes come with 12mm oxygen sensor bungs you will need the 18mm bungs that come with this kit if ordered that way.

**You will have to have these larger 18mm bungs welded into your pipes before proceeding. You may need plugs/caps for the factory 12mm bungs unless the larger bungs are welded into the same exact hole.

Power Commander V & DynoJet Auto Tuner

Consider using our Affiliate Links to purchase.

Revzilla Affiliate | Amazon Affiliate | MC Superstore Affiliate

The Power Commander V is a basic EFI tuning device that connects to your Engine Control Module (ECM) on your motorcycle. It will need to be connected to a PC to install the basic tuning maps that you can download based on your intake/exhaust set up. These are basic maps that will tune your bike overall, but you will not get any super fine tuning unless you add the Auto Tuner (below).

**No MAC support (Ridiculous). PC only.

This is a great option if you are just putting an aftermarket air intake on and some new headers/exhaust. You can download a basic tuning map form their website and upload it into the Power Commander V and you are on your way. If you ever change pipes or intake you can simply find a new map to download. For the average biker you may need nothing more than this device.

I would suggest the PCV over the basic EFI map that your Harley Dealership will flash your ECM with after you change your air intake or pipes which costs over $200. If you ever change pipes or intake you will be back in the dealership paying them another $200 to do a basic remap of your EFI. With the PCV you will never have to make a map purchase again.

The DynoJet Auto Tune kit is an “add on” accessory that can be used with the Power Commander V.

It connects to the PCV with a single cable and requires only a ground and +12 volt connection to be made to install (Harley models include connector for plugging directly into the bikes’ +12 volt line).

It comes with two O2 sensors, two control modules, CAN connection cables, and custom length sensor cables. It also includes a built in power connector that plugs directly into the bikes’ wiring harness for easy connection.

Once installed, the Auto Tune kit monitors the fuel mixture (by installing the included Wide Band O2 sensor in the exhaust). It then sends this information to the Power Commander V and automatically corrects it while you ride.

For Harley Davidson models it even monitors and adjusts each cylinder individually for increased precision as on these models required fueling can vary significantly between the front and rear cylinder.

For advanced users that would like to change the Air/Fuel ratios from our baseline they are fully adjustable.
