If you go back and reread that story, you will see the author has since added a correction.

"Further reports from some of our street riders (using our street maps) have confirmed my own findings that the fuel mileage did not suffer as a result of removing the secondaries; in fact, some actually reported an INCREASE in miles per gallon! This does correspond somewhat to my dyno results because, yet again, the 14 is so powerful that low RPM rides at moderate throttle openings do not occur much during normal use. This allows the bike to function at an area of the factory mapping which does not require a significant amount of additional fuel with the flies out compared to having the flies installed. "
I think I am understanding this correctly, that the lean area isn't going to really affect the bike because of how much power this thing has/gearing/rev's. So earlier today I called two different local tuners here about taking the flies out w/o adding a PC3. (I'm @ 5280ft, just fyi) and one said you'll get a flat spot @ 5000rpm and the other really didn't give me a reason, he just recommended the PC3.
Who's got 'em done w/ no PC3 & stock everything else? Anyone at altitude? How's it run? (if that makes a difference)
