  1. Yeah yeah... so we have our toy hauler which is amazing but the gas mileage is terrible.. (because its flat front.. blah) the truck has no problem towing it, but the wind resistance is what kills it.. anyway.. before we go out and buy a v-nose trailer now.. to hold like 3 bikes plus the fold up chairs, tool box, leathers, other gear, etc.. (for times when we dont take the toy hauler..) I figured Id ask about gas mileage when pulling a v-nose..... obviously theyre more aerodynamic with the v-nose.. but what are we looking at here?? Thanks all!
  2. Mine usually stays between 175* and 200... even when towing..
  3. thanks for the replies, everyone.. yes we're using the tow/haul button... I mentioned that in the first post.. The 5500lbs is without any of the bikes in it.. we're both concerned about how 3 sportbikes and all our stuff will affect the weight.. (leathers, food, drinks, water, gas, etc..) Ah well.. we're just going to have to be a little more conservative on the spending and save up for gas..
  4. (sorry if this is the wrong section..!) So we just bought a 5500lb, 24' travel trailer/toy hauler for taking our bikes to the track and for camping once in a while on the weekends. We bought it today and trailered it home tonight with the VMax.. (NNBS, 6.0L, 3.73 gears, 2WD) and the gas mileage WAS HORRRRRRRRIBLE.... I usually get 350-400 miles to the tank on the highway (going ~80 mph) and oh man, pulling this thing.. we got between 150-200 miles to the tank.. going 60 mph.. (gauges said 7-8 mpg..) absolutely awful... It makes owning the trailer not even worth it, because to go anywhere, with gas prices now, we're gonna be spending $200 just to GET somewhere..and that wont even take us out of Florida.. is there any sort of torque converter or shift point changes or SOMETHING I can make or do to my truck to make this worthwhile?? As we were driving it home (with the tow/haul button on.. FYI, almost all flat roads here in South Florida..) we were wondering if purchasing the trailer was a mistake.. It's not even worth it if gas alone is going to cost $400 round trip.. Any ideas?? Thanks you guys..
  5. aaaaahhahahahahahahahaha good one.
  6. Niice!!! You did a great job, looks freakin awesome!
  7. hey cool! We work out there.. and yeah the kids think im pretty cool.. its awesome. the older teachers hate it.. ehehe as for the PCM.. apparently there isnt a simple PCM swap on the NBS 07s... there are two pieces you need to unhook and send in to be reprogrammed.. theyre under the hood near the battery.. ECM and TCM I believe? I cant be without transportation for the duration of time that it takes to send it in, and back.
  8. www.cycleforums.com www.r1messagenet.com www.r6messagenet.com (you can still post an R1 there ) craigslist.com, always www.usasportbikers.com (my bf and i run this one, right now its only FL but we're adding in the other states soon..) www.sportbikes.net good luck man.
  9. nice!! did you try listing it on some of the big bike forums??? good luck man!
  10. Sweet!!! I know its there for a reason.. like I said the only reason I found out was when I was trying to get away from that idiot who was buzzing around me like a wasp.. What will this cost me?? (PM me if you like) and also.. Im coming from Oakland and US1.. what are the best directions to get to your shop?? Thanks man!!
  11. The new trucks dont do the PCM swap.. instead you take out the ECM?? and something else .. TCM? and send them in and they program them and send them back...
  12. Well maybe not.. I didnt realize I had to take out the..... ECM and TCM? and send them away... I cant give up transportation right now.. Im a teacher.. I go back to work on Tuesday... I guess I'll keep looking..
  13. well im an impatient person and i dont like waiting.. so i went ahead and contacted bryan from PCMForLess and I filled out the form.. I believe I'll be going with them for the tune for my truck.
