Product Reviews

Review: Got started late in life to the whole riding community, so the c50 was a great bike to start with. I felt I needed a little more power when riding 2 up though. Already did the Honest Abe mod for a little more throaty volume to the pipes, and now the Performance package turned my Bam Bam into a bike I'll be riding well into the future. Amazing what a difference in power it made. And I lean it out for commuting also. Well worth the money.

Review: I ordered the Bully package and was told the programmer was a week behind in manufacturing. A couple of days later it was at my house. The hardest part for me was locating the fuel injectors. But when I looked at the plug ins I found them and the programmer plugged right in. My bike is quick to respond. Gary and his team are great to work with and the products can't be beat!! Thank you Gary!!!

Review: 08 C50. I've debaffled the rear section of the OE mufflers, Added the Bully and did the recommended air cleaner mods. The bike really suprised me on that first full throttle run. You made the engine perform as it should have from the factory. Thanks GMan!!!

Review: 07 C50T Honest abe exhaust mod,Dj drive and performance bully package The bike really pulls now and sounds really sweet and my first tank 2up 1/3 of the time some slab some city and 50% back roads gave me 4.9liters/100kms which translates to 62.1371miles/1.2944gallons as calculated by fuelly.com

Review: The Bully was very easy to install. I couldn't wait to see the improvement & boy was there. So I said okay let's see what GMan had done for me. So I pulled over to the side of the road waited for the traffic to clear. My bike took off like a bat out of hell pulling hard thru all gears. I went from 0-90mph in no time. I thought it was now time to visit my friend that just bought a 2009 Harley Street Glide he had been bragging up. I asked him if he wanted to go for a ride, he smiled and said have fun trying to keep up. Let's just say he spent all of his time trying to keep up with me. After we got back he said to me what the *&^$&^ have you done to that thing. I just smiled from ear to ear. GMan you really done your work on this Bully kit. I'm very impressed & happy. Keep up the good work!

Review: I got my Bully Fuel Injection Controller Kit today, fitted it when I got home from work, the bike runs like a cut snake. The difference in power is amazing. The other great thing was it only took a week from when I ordered it to it being on the bike, thanks for the great service, Lowie.

Review: Installed my Bully this morning. Went in easy and mod to airbox was no problem. WOW Everything from starting rpm to going through the gears was everything plus more. Noticed a nice improvement in acceleration and letting go of gas bike ran smooth. Weird but seems like I'm on a bigger bike. Thanks for prompt shipment and easy instructions. PS : I installed bully unit under left locked cover in same compartment as my tool bag. Easy to access and adjust if I want.

Review: I just want to tell you "WOW!" I just uninstalled my FI200R (which I could never get dialed in) and snapped my "Bully" in it's place. The bike purrs! Idle, excelleration, ridability, and all around performance is enhanced. I am more than pleased and satisfied. Even with my UNI filter, the stock settings are perfect. No sputtering, coughing, popping, or spitting at all...unlike the FI2000R that I was constantly adjusting, but to no avail. I mounted the "control panel" on my windshield, just above my risers. It is accessible to adjust, if I please, and yet not distracting. Thank you for an awesome product! With the "Bully" and DJ drive, I now have the perfect bike! Tod

Review: I have had the Gman Industries Bully FI controller installed on my 05 Lehman Tramp for several weeks now. I picked the Bully over other controllers on the strength of postings on VR & IA Forums. Chewing gum and walking simultaneously can be challenging for me sometimes so it just sounded convenient to go with a unit that was relatively specific to the bike and that seemed to have satisfied users. I just was not interested in mapping and downloading etc. that seemed needed for other units. Being able to speak via phone & e-mail to a real person with a vested interest in the unit performing as advertised was also a big factor. Gary and his staff have given me some Tramp-specific suggestions to try in terms of fine tuning the settings. ********** My Trike had about 10,800 miles on it at the time of installation. I am the second owner. Install was very easy. Instructions were right on. I currently have the unit installed under the seat with direct ground to the battery. Leads are long enough to run out between the front edge of seat and the tank. Wires wedge in there OK and it doesn’t jump around much. It is convenient enough for a quick glance to check colors when running and to “tweak” if desired (when stopped – remember the gum bit?). I figured to stick it permanently to the fender someplace under the seat after fiddling with it a bit. Based on experience to date which indicates I have two distinct riding patterns and may want to change settings for commuting and cruising. So I may move it to the tool box for easier access. ********** I was able to run only a couple of tanks thru the Bully using the Stage 2 settings set at delivery. Didn’t keep really detailed notes on mpg and performance during that period as I thought I’d get a feel for the thing first (I believe the advice was to "Ride it like you stole it") and then start keeping real records to report here. I ended up having a front tire “issue” and have mounted a slightly larger front tire which has changed the speedo/odometer. I know about what it is now, but never checked it closely with the stock tire. I’ll post more on that tire / odo thing later after I run a measured course a few more times. Early numbers with the 140/90 – 16 tire, indicate the odometer is running about 3.9 % short of actual travel distance. (20 miles on the ground = 19.2 miles showing.) ********** Some initial impressions: ********** 1. Mileage increased on the order of 10% over the period of around 300 miles of mixed, but mostly commuting runs at speeds of 35 to 50 mph. A few shorts runs of 65 – 70 on state roads. No Interstate and no extended periods of time cruising at any speed. That was a change of from around 32 to 35 to 37 to 40 mpg. For you folks w/o the third wheel, the conversion amounts to a fairly big couple riding two up all the time and with luggage and maybe even uphill. It has a lot of extra weight and hardware for the little sputter-sparker to be hauling around. Those number are based on the odometer reading with stock IRC 130/90 – 16 tire. ********** 2. Spool down of the motor in low gears seems much less abrupt when rolling off the throttle. Used to have to grab the clutch every time when rolling back waiting for a light to change. Just seems to transition more smoothly from power to coast to power again in a given gear. See below. ********** 3. It seems to have made about a half gear difference in terms needing to down shift around town. Acceleration has improved. Trike just feels stronger maneuvering in traffic. I feel I am better able to manage the clear space between me and the cell phone toting, coffee drinking, McDonald munching, cagers. Not as nimble as 2 wheels, but waaaay fewer down shifts etc than before. ********** More later as I learn more.

Review: I purchased the kit with filter by recommendation from buddies at Volusiariders.com. I wanted some better input over fuel consumption, but more importantly, I found the C50 to be a slug above 70 mph actual (77 mph indicated)........... -In the beginning, I thought the results were rather subtle and it left me wonder if the purchase justified the results. I did get about 4-5 mpg better fuel mileage by leaning it out, and I tweaked it for what I found to be a subtle increase in performance, until I sold it to a brother in the forum......... No sooner was the Bully off the bike, I knew I made a terrible mistake: I could now feel the difference and and how sluggish the Boulevard became being back to stock, especially at higher speeds (I must mention that I also run a modified C90 final drive and therefore my gear ratio is higher, which brought the RPMs down considerably at slab speeds, at the cost of some torque). Plus, after the Bully was gone, so was the better mileage. Without hesitation I ordered a new kit and will surely keep it - I guess you have to ride with and without it in a short period of time to see what a huge difference this great device makes, even at Stage 2 with stock pipes.......... Thanks Gary for your great product - highly recommended to anyone who wants to get the most out of their Boulevard.

Review: Took me 2 hours total to remove the PC3,install Gary\'s Bully unit,and drill the 11 holes in the airbox...Ran into no problems whatsover,the bike fired right up and ran really good right from the start...I noticed a very slight initial idle drop,but it came back up once the bike got good and warmed up...I\'ll need to lean the idle mixture(mode 1 Green) back a bit as the bike is richer than I Like at an idle............ Took it down the road and noticed that the power was in different places than before with the PC3.....It\'s not like I gained more throttle response,nor did I lose any,but it\'s like the power is spread out over a longer period of time and higher into the rpm ranges...It\'s hard to explain,but it is something I feel and I Know is different...Gary seems to think my bike was a bit lean maybe with the PC3?............ I Like the LED lights that stay on full time telling me how my throttle hand is doing....As your cruising along you see either 1 or 2 lit green LEDs,this is telling me that I\'m in my best range for cruising fuel economy...Crack the throttle and you see the lights going orange,crack further and you see them go red....Pretty cool feature...I was also able to touch the mode button 1 time,moved the green mode 1 step lean while cruising down the road and the unit is very easy to \"quickly\" change any setting literally in seconds...Mine is mounted alongside my handle bar and it looks like it\'ll be a permanent spot for it(for awhile at least)............ First impressions.....I Like it....Gary and I spoke in more detail tonight about the unit and he will take the time to help me while I dial this thing in....Gary is nice and is standing firmly behind a very cool product....... Got 48 mpg on the first tank and 51 mpg on the second and I\'m sure the third will be around the same also...... I will say the bike still pulls hard and strong overall...Didn\'t lose anything there!

Review: Man I love this thing. Simple install. I was nervous drilling the holes in the air filter cover but it went very smooth with the supplied template and once it was back on the bike you couldn't tell it had ever been modified. This package makes my bike run like i've always wanted it to. Just twist this horses ear and hold on tight!

Review: The installation took me much longer than it was supposed to because I'm an old geezer and I had to "double check" everything over twice and proceed very slow, I was very methodical because I did not want to "screw-up" and then, wouldn't you know, I dropped a tool on my tank and put a chip in it anyway......What do you want from a retired plumber?.............Test ride: My C-50 never ran so smooth and "peppy", I was actually snapping my neck, something that I never did with my C-50 before. It's running so good that I don't dare change any settings on the Bully Unit, how can you improve on "perfection."

Review: Installation of GMAN's C50 Bully Package almost ends in death of customer.........Okay, it was my stupidity trying to test it out when there's still ice, salt, and sand on the street.........So it took less than an hour to install, and was relatively easy, even for my un-mechanical behind. Decided to put the processor under the seat. Don't think I'll do much tinkering, so don't need easy access..........Go to test it out on the block, and it's fast!.........I live in a subdivision that's a perfect square, so I only have one block before I have to turn, which I don't want to do with the possibility of ice, and I know there's a ton of salt and sand on the street..........Well, I took a run before install to see remember the stock acceleration, no problems. When I did the after run I got going a little faster than I expected and had trouble slowing. The back end got a little squirrly and I had several thoughts go through my head. Yes, I can guide the bike around the parked car, and If I can keep the bike up in the snow covered lawn, I got another fifty feet before the woods.... But I feathered the front brake and got it stopped with the front tire resting at the curb.
