Mounting the Power Commander

Do you have pics ; )

I mounted mine where the tire repair kit used to live.



I cut off the original mounting ears and used velcro to mount it on the bottom and a piece of foam on the top to make a snug fit with the top cover.



I trimmed the sides of the cover so that the wires won't be pinched.



This view shows the cable routing I use on the dyno (with the seat installed) so that the cable doesn't get caught in the rear wheel or melted on the exhaust.

I did not know there was a PC available for the S. What else can you say about this setup. What gains, etc. BTW, doesn't removing the tire repair kit void the BM warranty ; )

Hey Eron;

Thanks for the info; I was thinking that you would have to cut the mounting ears off, but wanted to make sure before I went and did
it.

Well there isn't one available from Dynojet. I figured out how to make one of their units work on my S and now San Jose BMW is selling a kit to do the same using the information I gave them. What gains depends on the setup of your bike and how close your mapping is now. If you have a good chip that suits your setup then the gain would be zero. If you have an odd setup like I do then we are talking 5-6 HP and much smoother running. Follow the link below to two previous threads that will tell the whole story about how the PC3 for BMWs came about.
