At 31, my 31st motorcycle is an R3 :)

and how does the 20050 tune works out for you, any popping on deceleration? I have not started my R3 yet but I have loaded that tune this winter and I do have the jardines and triple filters so close to your set up that i believe if it ok for you it should be ok for mine too.

I saw two 20050 tunes on Tom Hamburg's site. One of them was labeled 20050TOR_Dyno. That's the one I chose because it seemed to have a better description. Until 3 days ago, I had no O2 sensor (one of the butcher jobs on the current exhaust set up). I bought one on ebay and re-uploaded that tune, without deleting the O2 sensor. Until then, I had no popping out the exhaust -which is an entirely different thing than backfiring, of which there is none.

I was getting 24mpg w/out the O2, but tons of torque. Haven't burned a tankfull yet w/ the O2. It seems to improve over several rides/starts after uploading a new tune, probably cuz the ECU is learning/applying new data. It's an awesome tune... hopefully won't burn holes in the pistons!

Here's another attempt at this photo****et thing:<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Hello to Australia! I'd love to visit someday :)
The bike has the original header, but the O2 (or Lambda) sensor hole was plugged shut. From there a corrosive steel homemade splitter is poorly attached to two Vance & Hines pipes that probably fit a Honda Shadow or Hardley Ableson. The joints have so many leaks that the previous owner slobbered pipe fitting compound all over it, which blew out after a few months. I arc-welded several of the leaks shut (after disconnecting the battery, of course! (those voltage spikes can fry an ECU!!)) and am enduring the noise until I fabricate a proper header/collector/splitter to feed a muffler on each side.
The current junk looks good after the heat sheilds are in place, so it's been tolerable.
