We have
put the R&D into two more remote control kits. They are for
the serious tuner or racer who doesn't want all the bells
& whistles of the Pro-Series
Remote Control KI system we've had
out for a while now. The two new kits do not have all the bells
& whistles that the Pro-Series RC K1 has, but
they cost a lot less & really work great!! To keep the price
as trim as possible for you we designed two set ups. This way you
won't be purchasing items we know you won't need, depending on
your requirements.
K2 kit mounted by the "Hot Start" knob, on a
YZF. Same bike but mounted high on the left
side. Two of the several choices of cable
protection you get.
The RC K2 is designed
with the 2000 series Flo-Commanders in mind, (the single cyl.
FCR Flo-Commanders). The RC K3 kit is an entry
level kit for the 1000 Series Flo-Commanders for Sportbikes,
but can be used with either type Flo-Commander. You will
just have a few parts left over if you use it on an FC 2000
equipped bike, but, it will give you a couple more options. All
the quality aluminum Bracket Blanks we send can be quite easily
drilled & bent to whatever configuration you need, to mount
the control knob where YOU
Above are two of the many ways to mount the RC K2 on the FC2000
The RC K2 kit
The single cylinder FCR equipped bike
always has the carb in the open, & not in an enclosed air-box.
There isn't a need for quite as long of cable, sheathing etc etc,
or the grommets or hardware that is used with a sportbike or
air-box set-up, so we made the RC K2 without the
added parts that is required for the Sportbike set-up. The
reasons are several why you may want the remote, even though the
carb & Flo-Commander 2000 are in the open. The main one is the
some of the bikes are very "congested" on the right side
of the carb where the Main Circuit Needle adjustment is. With all
the items you need to get around, many guys have requested a
simple remote that they can reach down & adjust on-the-fly.
Yes putting a long screw driver in there & adjusting your
fuel/air mixture is simple & you don't even have to shut the
engine off, but, with the remote, you can adjust it without even
looking down, &, while still on the bike. The pilot circuit in
the FCR is on the left of the carb, so obviously so is the
adjustment screw on the Flo-Commander. It is easy to reach down
and access whenever tuning.

neck.

The major difference, between the RC K2
& 3. Once you go farther than about 12 to
16"s in length, you need to support the inner cable core so
that it can rotate inside a hanger or two, or a stationary outer
guide or sheath. This way you can span farther distances and
negotiate corners easier, without the cable wanting to loop or
buckle, & not adjust as smoothly. With the open FCR, & a
wide variety of choices fairly near the carb its easy to find a
location to mount the remote. 16" of cable core is supplied
with the RC K2 kit. In the RC K3
kit we supply military spec grommets, more inner cable core
(24"), more sheathing, more cable protect covering, cable
hangers, more SS fasteners etc. You still can use the K3
kit in place of the K2 kit, because it has
everything the K2 Kit has, but if you
have a sportbike or even a cruiser that we make the FC for, you
need the RC K3 or the original Pro-Series
"KI" all-out ultimate Remote/Fuel Air
Control.
Once you have the RC II or III set, you
can lock the setting with a single wrench, behind
the control knob mounting bracket. We make special Delrin or Nylon
friction discs that go here so you can have a certain amount of
tension on the control cable, (besides what the o-ring, &
spring on the FC gives you). The set up is designed so it won't
wear & become loose, & so the adjusting action is very
smooth. It will hold its adjustment fine, without locking it, or
adjusting the tension fairly snug, as long as you don't
accidentally bump & rotate the knob, but the lock is there
because we felt it was necessary so all scenarios & situations
could be covered. Locking it, when not racing or tuning, also prevents
someone from "messing up" that fine tuned carb for you!
All our Remote control
kits are designed so you can easily make the control cable the
length you want. We also include a "practice" or
"set-up" core, so you can fully mock up the system
before cutting the special cable to length. The cable is designed
to give a nice clean cut, with just a good sharp pair of side/wire
cutters. We also include bracket blanks so you can do the mounting
the way you want to as well. We include very easy to understand
illustrated instructions on all the criteria you will need to know
to mount it all in a very professional way.
The RC K2 retails for
74.95, & the
RC K3 retails for 88.95

What You Get In Ea. Kit.
The RCK2 Kit; Good
instructions!, 2 Alum. bracket blanks, rugged yet easy to bend
& drill, with the one required hole already done for you, that
is covered with a protective coating you peel off when the bracket
is ready to use. Purpose-made aircraft quality cable core.
Extremely soft durometer surgical style tubing to slide over the
cable core to protect it from the elements. Its extra pliable so
as not to impede the ease of rotating the control cable, even when
a turning radius in the cable route is quite short. You get clear
& black, (red & blue are available). Black & clear
shrink tubing is supplied as well to use by itself, or to seal the
ends of the tubing to the SS cable end connectors. The control
knob with all related SS hardware that goes on the main shaft,
along with the anti wear spacers. SS set screws
w/loctite patch built in for securing the cable, after you cut it
to length, into the SS cable end, & the "bell" end
to the FC Needle. Hex wrench, SS fasteners to attach the bracket
to the bike if you so choose. A mock cable core so you can double
check your calculations before cutting the cable. Quality nylon
ties, etc. We give you enough materials to go up to 16"s.
But, if you go the full 16" you might need to lightly hold
the cable somewhere in the middle of its length, depending on your
cable route.
The RC K2 kit The
RC K3 kit
The RCK3 Kit; You
get all the above, plus; the cable
related components; core, protective coverings, etc etc to
go up to 24". Plus sheathing, that can remain stationary with
the cable rotating within it, along with rubber sealing caps for
the ends. Hangers for the cable & or cable & sheathing.
along with stainless hardware for the hangers. Military specs
grommets for going thru air boxes, (thus keeping them sealed), or
plastic or fiberglass parts, large dia. for sheathing, &
smaller for just covered, (or uncovered) cable core.
A note on some things you may be wondering about !
A similar cable core (not as
rugged) alone runs about $50 for 12" from a industrial supply
co. without any special ends. A long idle adjuster for a
typical sport bike runs at least that, & the cable will not
work near as well as our specially made aircraft quality cable. It
is designed to take a lot of torsional twist, in either
direction, unlike speedometer cable which will unwind when
turned backwards. All the components that are steel, we make from
stainless. About 95% of the hardware in the kits are stainless as
well. All the necessary pieces are there for you in an easy to
assemble kit, that can be set up the way you want to set it up.
there are several well designed stainless machined parts to make
it a first class product. We make sure our quality is second
to none, with comparable products, but, with a lower price than
you are used to paying for inferior quality. This, along with
extra components & parts that we don't even figure into the
price with every product we manufacture & sell. We want to be
sure you always get more than you pay for when you purchase our
products, Period!
Our original Pro-Series RC K1 kit
The original "Top-Shelf" Pro-Series
Remote Control K1 kit, of course may be
used for the 1000 or 2000 Series FC`s. In other words, the FCR
Single carb`d machine or the Multi carb`d Sport Bike type FC. Some
of what it offers that the other two do not is mentioned below. The
Pro-Series RC K1:
Has a control unit with a spring loaded
detent to make adjustments at speed easier & more precise,
& to automatically lock it into position when you adjust the
knob. This is necessary especially when you mount it on the left
clip-on and then have the movement in the cable when turning the
front wheel back & fourth. Also with the added length when
mounting farther from the FC, you will get a slight bit of
"spring back" when you let go if you turn it quite a
bit, then let right go. The detent helps take care of this. The
knob also has a threaded set screw that you can physically lock
completely, (mainly so no one can "mess" with it). The
control unit also has a stainless dial with markings on it for
quick visual positioning. A section in the unit is also designed
so that it can be set to allow the knob to be rotated from a
fraction of a turn, to five turns, (the max you use with any of
the Flo-Commanders). You can set it to stop at a certain
adjustment, & to rotate up to five turns (or slightly more)
& stop at a predetermined adjustment. With this feature you
can give yourself a max rich & max lean setting, so while
racing you don't adjust it either way farther than you want to,
without ever even looking at it to be sure. It also means no
one can walk up to your machine & simply turn the needle all
the way out of the FC, inside the airbox, without you realizing it
till you run it.
It has 3 feet of control cable & all the
sheathing choices you could need to go with it. a
"practice" or "set-up" core, so you can fully
mock up the system before cutting the special cable to length.
Several choices of hangers, fasteners, grommets, & more, so
you can custom mount your system however you want to!
We definitely sell this kit under it's easy-to-see value as
well!!!
