HSR42 - any other solutions to the TPS fabricating?

[Jaybo]

Read the thread about fabricating the TPS module and doesn't look fun for me. I see there is the VOES but a little spendy.. Any other solutions?

When Curt helped me with mine, we adapted the TPS from my old CV.

I used the VOES for several years and found it to work tolerably well.. but the tps is the best.............

Still running the VOES from a HD big twin - no problems for years now.

I am running a 108ci big bore with HSR 42. No TPS installed. Having no issues. The bike runs great.

You have any pics of that?

[Txulrich]

Didn't take any at the time. Next time I pull the tank I'll snap a few.

I did the TPS mod and it wasn’t nearly as bad as it looks. Just used a little bit of 1/8” ish flat bar stock (aluminum) and took my time. Turned out good the first time. That was years ago but it wasn’t something I remember being bad at all.

If I remember right, The Dyna 3000 doesn't use the signal from the TPS.
Gotta research that again.

I found this and I guess if you want the tps sensor to work. You have to change the wiring for it?

but does it do anything with the timing?

I have the HSR 42 on my 1600 for 2 years no TPS no problems

The VOES doesn't look that expensive now that I have researched it some more right around $50 or a bit more, just need to fugure out the model numbers to vacuum level. Is there a specific model of HSR42 that I need?

The same here. I rode it for 2 seasons hard, not a problem. Even started it one cold day when it was 42F and rode it for a while. No lag when doing hold shots for fun and giggles.

[MikeyC]

You make me sick, One cold day when it was 42F? That's a warm day here. If it's 42F in the morning it's going to be a great day. lol

[Jaybo]

42° is getting real close to shorts weather!

[Smokescreens]

Roadiedude made a billion of those tps brackets years ago. I could see if he still has some. Think he wanted like $25 or so.

[Jaybo]

Please do! I'd be interested.

Hi, The ECU in harleys and RS are programed to have a built in timing curve that is designed to operate in a certain way based on the sender, ie VOS and TPS, as the VOS is a switch and the TPS is a varister, i am of the conclusion that the VOS will only send the RS ECU from one end of its scale to the other, as the RS ECU is turned up like a volume,via the TPS, whereas the harley ECU has preprogramed curves that are switched between via the VOS.
This is my understanding of how they both work after some research.
I will do some tests when the weather allows to acually see what is happening with the timing using both units.
Many people report different things but i cannot find anyone that has actually done a measurement of the timing, just seat of the pants feel, which may be causing detonation that nobody hears, especialy with load pipes.

I dont mean to sound rude, i just want to help people from harming their motor
