T-Max ECM with Auto-Tune
Closed Loop System for
M-8 Softails
Whitehouse, Tennessee based ThunderMax
has been quick off the mark with this latest
version of the T-Max - an ECM with auto-tune
closed loop system for new 2018 M-8
Softails that mounts conveniently in
place of the factory ECM and
plugs into the existing
harness.
Utilizing wide-band O2
sensors it works as a
closed-loop control
system to continuously
self-adjust and properly
tune the motorcycle's
air/fuel ratio for all
riding conditions and is said to be an easy install -
“just replace the factory ECM, install the new O2
sensors and harness, load the correct map and ride.”
It includes ThunderMax ECM with auto-tune module,
plug-in harness and two wide-band sensors, TMax
software and communication USB cable, quick-start
easy install and comprehensive user manuals,
technical support and free software and updates.
Hundreds of maps are available to download (based
on model, engine size, exhaust system air cleaner,
pistons, cams, etc.) - load the map of your choice and
the integral auto-tune will do the rest.
It improves throttle response, exhaust sound and
driveability and does not require dyno tuning - the
rider can adjust idle speed, rev limit and speedometer
calibration. It has adjustable front and rear cylinder
AFR maps, ignition timing (spark) maps, and start up
maps. It works with all popular exhaust systems, is
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
compatible with high-performance camshafts and
supports turbo, nitrous and supercharger
applications.
The software program allows live monitoring,
recording and examination of diagnostic codes and
datalogs including number of starts, engine
temperature and rpm operation. New maps,
software, firmware updates, map analysis and tech
support available online at no charge. Because of
possible clearance issues, some aftermarket exhaust
systems may require modifications or relocation of
their O2 sensor port bungs.

Biltwell Tyson bars
Styled after the classic T-bars of the past,
Temecula, California based Biltwell’s ‘Tyson’
bars bring a new look and geometry to the
old favorite.
These one-inchers are crafted from seamless
0.120” (3 mm) wall 4130 chromoly tubing
and precision mitered, mandrel bent and
TIG welded.
They are available in 10”, 12”, or 14”
heights with integrated risers that fit the
stock upper triple trees with the 3.5”
center-to-center spacing found on most
Harley models, and are 1/2-13 threaded.
Burly HEX
air cleaner
The new Burly Brand HEX air cleaner
features an “industrial hex design that fits
organically to the H-D V-twin engine with a
‘less is more’ attitude and a very attractive
price tag,” according to Burly product
supremo Sean Delshadi.
Made from strong, stamped steel and
finished in a durable black powder-coat or
chrome finish, they come with the “Slotted”
faceplate design and a K&N air filter
installed for maximum performance and
filtration.
The new air cleaner features oil breather
bolts that route heat and chemical resistant,
flexible tubing through the unit and back to
the intake manifold for minimal oil seep.
“The HEX design complements the H-D V-
twin lines and many other build styles,”
says Sean. “Its thin profile provides plenty
of knee clearance without sacrificing air
flow, while the rounded-off corners in the
design eliminate snagging your pants.”
Burly Brand also offers two optional
faceplate designs, the “MX” and “Wrench”
– available in chrome and black. These
stamped steel faceplates are sold
separately and are a quick swap-out with
just three easy bolts.
