So does this imply that there is actually a new computer available for the
'97-'98 models now? Last I had checked (8 mos ago) there was no such thing.
Where can I get more info on this?

I'm also looking to install an electric fan on this beast, but wanted to make
sure it'd be able to handle any future upgrades I may wish to add (blower here
I come)....I know Summit sells a Perma-Cool fan in 16" and 18" varieties, but
would it be better to go with 2 12" fans instead? My mech. engineering
friends tell me that CFM is pretty useless unless you know something about the
pressure drop at 0 flow, and the characteristics of the radiator; neither of
which I have any info on, so what's the best bet? Just go with the motto
"bigger is better"?

...Now that the rain is coming to the Great Northwest, it's time to retire the
Harley and start working on the Dak again...
