    Now THIS is a marketing question worthy of a fully researched, in depth answer with full annotation and bibliography…











































    Wait for it. My muse is fully engaged and is working overtime on this…

    Ok, you got it! Any adjustment you make is perfect for you. You can't hurt anything by trying the different settings on the IICE Cool. Many people have done just that. :1drink Enjoy yourself!

    There are 2 and half batches of IICE Airs left, and then we'll retool and set up for the next hotrod device. Vrrroooom vrrroooom!

    The topic of a general email announcement has come up before. I have all of your email addresses and would like to do that. But here's the thing. I can't figure out how to send a group email without sharing everyone's email address with all the other recipients.

    But maybe there's a workaround. Subscribe to the Vendor thread instead of this one. You won't get all the ongoing development information that you don't need, but you'll get an email notification when an announcement is posted. How's that?

    blind carbon copy, AKA bbc, only one address is seen by the people receiving the copy.

    I wish more people would use this feature when sending out emails to their entire address book. :becca

    You beat me too it.

    Just put your own address in the address bar and then copy/paste the rest of the list addresses into the Bbc address bar. Then no one sees the addresses that it was sent to other than yours and their own.

    Agreed! :lol3


    Re BCC:, My understanding is that most spam filters block mail with [undisclosed recipient] in the From line.

    I just checked it by sending to a few of my addresses (AOL and Gmail). Works fine for me. Just don't hide who it's from and each recipient still sees who sent it. They just don't see who all else you sent it to.

    Works the same in Outlook too and we use it all the time with my business account. As far as I know, I've never heard anything from IT about the spam filters catching anything.

    <BR>There is some pretty good mailing list software available on my web host account. It will send out individualized form emails with opt-in and opt-out links inside the email. But I haven't taken the time to study the user interface.

    I think that's a good thing. Cause I'm pretty sure you don't want JJ running loose with an email spam bot.

    Ok, went and found the thread. Link

    You know marketing over at Booster Plug would have probably posted the link for the convenience of customers. :lol3

    Well, I'm disappointed. I got one of the batches sent out in March and I've had it on my 1200GS ever since. Maybe I'm a numbnuts and have no sensitivity whatsoever but I can't tell a difference in before and after. Went out today and checked to make sure that it was in the -20 position as I remember PS telling one of the inmates that he might have "accidentally" had it in the 0 position. Mine was in the -20. Tried it in the 0 position and then back in the -20 and still can't tell a difference. Checked to make sure it was hooked up right, and, it is, so.....IDK. Any ideas? I really wanna get this thing working and I don't expect to have an erection for 20 hours from it either. :D

    Well as an experiment try the -30º setting.

    If you don't notice anything, at all, then I'd be looking at other causative factors.

    Some other inmates were also certain they had it correctly installed, but could not discern a difference. Turned out they had incorrectly installed it. Maybe check one more time?

    <table border="0" cellpadding="5" width="650"><tr><td>Hey there, Ridestrong. I hear what you're saying about that nothing happened. But you know, I don't know what to tell you except that just isn't possible.

    Here's what I mean. The air temperature input is used by the ECU for the air mass calculation. And with that mass result, it determines an injector pulsewidth based on the desired fuel/air mass ratio. But since the IICE Air makes the air mass result artificially high, more fuel is injected.

    Try twisting the throttle to the stop. I certainly noticed a difference there when the front wheel tried to come up in the first two gears. (-20 setting)

    I have it connected to the intake air-box temperature sensor and I believe you can only connect "in line" one way. In other words, you can't plug it in "reverse". Maybe I am just a numbnuts. The bike was already running well before I installed it. How did the other inmates have it installed that was incorrect? :ear
