- I have a Sportster SI and it came with Software that supports RPI. There
- are lots of software packages that support RPI infact. If you check
- the Web you'll see how many manufacturers support RPI. Furthermore, at this

- would reccomend the SI if you don't want to blow a lot of money on the
- regular Sportster.
